FAQs

• What are the benefits of a makerspace membership?

  During the membership period, members can access the workshop at any time during operating hours.

• What is the 10-card?

  With the purchase of the 10-pass, you can access the workshop 10 times within a period of 3 years.

  This is a technical requirement for our access system and is not relevant for members. Day passes allow 10-pass holders to check how many days they still have access to.

  You can start whenever you like. In the first month, we will only charge you for the days left until the end of the month. After that, we will charge your membership at the beginning of each month. You can upgrade or downgrade your membership at any time (e.g., from Maker to MakerPlus, or from MakerPlus to Maker). You can easily do all of this in your account. You can book our machines after successfully completing the respective course (see our price list).

• I'd love to know when I can access the workshops!

  You're welcome to come and use the MakerSpace whenever it's open, and we'll do our best to fit you in! We do have to reserve the right to use the MakerSpace for events during our opening hours, but we'll do our best to fit in with your schedule. Just so you know, we take a two-week break each year to take an operational vacation, but we're always happy to welcome you back after that!

• How do I get access to the Workshop?

  For smooth operations, please scan your membership card at the entrance (card reader) and at each machine you want to use. This ensures only authorized members enter the workshop and operate the machines. Please remember that workshop doors are exclusively for members, and you must not grant access to non-members. Machines may only be operated by the person whose card was scanned.

• Do I get access to both locations?

  Absolutely! With all our memberships, you'll have the chance to explore both Garching and Munich Urban Colab.

• How do I reserve a machine?

  Reserving a machine is a piece of cake! All you need to do to get your hands on a machine is complete the relevant course (see our price list). Then, you can make a booking online via your account.
