Our DTF (Direct to Film - heat transfer) printer, is a Level 2 piece of&nbsp;equipment.
  
Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) is dedicated to supporting our maker community in their creative process by providing shared space, shared tools, materials and a knowledge base to turn their ideas into&nbsp;reality.
+
Additional PPM training is required to use any of our Level&nbsp;2 equipment.
 
<br>
 
<br>
'''We maintain three Design Workstations as well as other computers throughout our space for all our members to&nbsp;use''' (without&nbsp;any additional required&nbsp;training). Additionally, we have laptop work areas available that were originally study carrels from the Pikes Peak Library&nbsp;District.
 
 
<br>
 
<br>
 +
Members are also welcome to bring in their own computers and use our printers (and high-speed Internet connection.)

Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) maintains desktop printers for all our members to use (Level 1).

Level 2 badge used at Pikes Peak Makerspace

Our DTF (Direct to Film - heat transfer) printer, is a Level 2 piece of equipment.

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

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