Makerspace
The Makerspace is a student run electronics lab, located in 18AB04 (fourth floor of AB, just inside the EE undergraduate labs by the AA/AB stairwell). It is open to all EARS members via swipe card access upon completion of health and safety training.
Electronics
As a modern electronics lab, the Makerspace contains all the equipment you might need for your projects. This includes four fully equipped work benches with: 4-channel digital oscilloscopes, digital function generators, programmable power supplies, microcontroller programmers, and soldering / hot air stations.
We also keep a stock of common components (resistors, capacitors, transistors .etc) which are there for use by our members. All equipment is covered by the joining fee.
3D Printing
EARS has a range of CoreXY 3D printers and a good stock of PLA filament, in a range of colours. In addition we have powerful CAD dedicated PCs with industry leading software such as Solidworks. The printers are a key part of many society and personal projects, available for members, once they’ve been trained on its operation and maintenance.
Fabrication
An area of the Makerspace is set up for fabrication, as many projects will have a mechanical aspect to them. We have a range of hand and machine tools available to our members, including saws, drills, files, and screwdrivers.
