Welcome to the Maker Hub

Elon students have FREE access to 3D printers, sewing and embroidery machines, laser engravers, and more at the Maker Hub. The Hub is for all Elon students, regardless of major or year. We have two locations on campus and we’re always staffed with student consultants to help you make stuff. Follow us on Instagram @ElonMakers and sign up for our email newsletter.

Great! Grab a friend and visit a Maker Hub location. If you need something to make, stop by Downtown and create a personalized magnetic sign or visit either location and ask for help making a vinyl sticker. We’re staffed by students who love helping people make things.

And if you want to get trained on our advanced tools like laser engravers, sewing machines, and 3D printers, visit the Maker Hub’s Moodle site.

Have a question? Stop by and ask or email us.
