Computers — Windows
Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) maintains three Windows 10 Design Workstations for all members to use.
Additionally, there are other Windows computers dedicated to equipment throughout our space.
Members can use our Design Workstations and our dedicated computers, and installed software, without any additional required training (Level 1).
No reservations are required for our Design Workstations at this time, they are "first‑come, first‑served".

- Computers are for professional use only.
Red Tags
- If equipment needs repairs, place a Red Tag on it and report it via the Pikes Peak Makerspace Slack channel #red-tags-issues
- This advises others on the malfunctioning equipment and ensures that actions can be taken to service/repair the equipment.
