At Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) we share tools to make, or take apart, your metal projects.
We have welders, lathes, saws, grinders, and much more so that members can turn their ideas into reality!

Our Metal Shop Area consists mostly of Level 3 equipment.
Additional PPM training and then PPM certification is required to use any of our Level 3 equipment.
Always leave the space better than you found it.
