Level 3 badge used at Pikes Peak Makerspace

The Metal Shop Area at Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) consists mostly of Level 3 equipment.

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

Metal Shop Area hand tools should be marked with pink tape, paint, or powder coating.
