Welcome to the Sherman Makerspace!
ABOUT
Welcome to the Sherman Center Makerspace! This is where students within Sherman Center programs and initatives can ideate and prototype using a variety of tools and equipment. Students have access to a range of 3D printers, soldering equipment, hand tools, and power tools. The makerspace is also outfitted with more niche devices, such as a desktop CNC mill, SLA 3D Printer, and more.
Makerspace Access
Students within any Sherman Center program or initiative can obtain access to the Makerspace by completing safety training with a Makerspace Ninja. These safety trainings can be scheduled through the Notion.
Open Hours
The Makerspace is open every day 24/7 with card access.
The Makerspace is a shared space, and as such, events are also sometimes held within the space. Ensure that the makerspace is free for use by checking the Events Schedule on the Notion.
Notion
The Sherman Center Notion serves as a digital space for students to request help, connect with other Sherm members, and get general information about the space.

TOOLS & EQUIPMENT

The Nomad 883 Pro
This is a powerful yet compact desktop CNC mill capable of machining a wide range of plastics, wood, and soft metals like aluminum and brass. It has a cutting area of 8″ x 8″ x 3″ and a spindle speed range of 2000-10,000 RPM. The machine has a mechanical resolution of 0.005in and a mechanical accuracy of 0.05 in/ft. Max cutter diameter is 1/4″.

The Formlabs Form 2
This is a desktop SLA 3D printer that bills itself as the most reliable 3D printer on the market. It has a 145mm x 145mm x 175mm build volume and an x-y-z axis accuracy of +/- 240um. It uses a 405nm ultraviolet laser and a 250mW laser to cure liquid resin into solid parts. This machine can print in a variety of material types, with each material type having a set range of z-axis layer-heights. For instance, Grey resin can print at 160um, 100um, 50um, and 25um layer height while Tough resin prints at 100um and 50um layer height.

The Bambu Lab P1S
This is a high-speed, enclosed 3D printer with an enclosed body, auto bed leveling, and support for a wide range of filaments including ABS and ASA. It has a CoreXY system and a 256 x 256 x 256 mm build volume, along with advanced features like active vibration compensation and an all-metal hotend. It supports high-speed printing with up to 500 mm/s and 20,000 mm/s² acceleration.

Soldering Station
This is the soldering station for soldering electronic components. It has soldering irons with temperature control, a stand with a tip-cleaning sponge, smoke absorbers, and more. There are a total of four seats, allowing for multiple people to work at once.

IR Reflow Oven
This is a microprocessor-controlled reflow oven for automatically soldering surface-mount devices (SMD) and BGA components onto a PCB. It has a large 300x320mm soldering area, 8 preset heating cycles, and can also perform other functions, such as drying, heat preservation, and board aging.

Drill Press
This is the SKIL DP9505-00 Drill Press, a corded, 6.2-amp benchtop drill press. It has a 10-inch swing that provides precise drilling for wood, metal, and other materials. Key features include a 5-speed system, an integrated laser for alignment, an LED worklight, and an adjustable, tilting work surface.
