When you join NextFab, enjoy access to all our features at any location, no matter your membership level.
A NextFab membership provides access to our digital and traditional tools, software, spaces, classes, and expertise. You’ll gain education, private training, support, and guidance from our experts on staff – customized for your skill level, interests, and goals. Plus, you’ll join a unique community of passionate and collaborative makers to share and learn from.
We believe in our community. That the innovative and creative minds of our makers are central to our community at NextFab. How you learn, grow, and connect is key to your journey. We believe that success doesn’t happen in a siloed box but through a collaborative culture.
We believe in access to technology. By providing access to expert instructors and state-of-the-art equipment, from hand tools to high-tech machines, our members can develop a deep sense of confidence in their fabrication journey. We provide access to the space they want to work in and find inspiration as they work alongside members from different disciplines. We believe that access to high-quality space, maintained equipment, and expert staff is central to our mission.
We believe in hands-on classes. All of our members are capable of accomplishing whatever they put their minds to, and our teaching structure reflects that ideology. Classes demystify the making process and open a window of possibilities, through our one to a two-person class cap, we make sure you can learn effectively. You will develop usable skills, understand why they are important, and leave class with a deeper desire to learn more and continue growing.
We know making. And we’re here to help you.
There is a maker in all of us. The NextFab makerspace community is the place where your dreams turn into ideas, ideas into possibilities, and possibilities into real-world products. We’re here to welcome, support, and inspire you wherever you are on your making journey. We are your success in the making.

After filling out the Membership Agreement form, you should automatically receive an email with follow-up instructions. This self-guided online orientation will teach you how to navigate our facilities, connect with our community and access our resources. It should take about 20 minutes to complete the self-paced modules.
In order to access our shops and equipment, you’ll need to be certified by NextFab staff for safe use. Classes are the best way to learn how to use a tool/machine safely and gain certifications for use in our shops. Private Training or certification check sessions are the best way to receive one-on-one training to guide you through learning a new skill, problem-solve your project, or certify you on the equipment you have pre-existing knowledge of.
