Revision as of 16:40, 29 March 2025

Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) maintains three Windows 10 Design Workstations, and a 27" Apple iMac.

Additionally, there are other computers dedicated to equipment throughout our space.

No reservations are required for our Design Workstations at this time, they are "first-come, first-served".

Level 1 badge used at Pikes Peak Makerspace

Members can use our (3) Design Workstations and our dedicated computers, and installed software, without any additional required training (Level 1).

Members are also welcome to bring in their own computers and use our high-speed Internet connection.



Contact Us if you cannot find your answer here on our Wiki or if you notice any information that is outdated.

 


Training

  • Do not expect files on the computers to be saved, use your own thumb drive or cloud backup.
  • Computers are for professional use only.
