Level 3 badge used at Pikes Peak Makerspace

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

It is a small but 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.

CNC Area hand tools should be marked with blue tape or paint.
