At Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM), our CNC room is 234 square feet (13'x18').

The CNC Room is an important part of the 5,500 square foot building that we lease.

The CNC Area at PPM consists mostly of Level 3 equipment.

Additional PPM training and then certification is required to use any of our Level 3 equipment.

Additional PPM training is required to use any of our Level 2 equipment.

Our trainers are passionate about sharing their knowledge and ensuring a positive learning experience for all.

We are grateful for their commitment and dedication to our community.
