INIAD Makers’ Hub

INIAD Makers’ Hub

The maker movement, in which individuals engage in manufacturing, is becoming popular around the world. The catalyst is the wide availability of "digital fabrication" technology resulting from the infusion of ICT into the manufacturing world, which allows various shapes to be easily created.
INIAD believes it is important to support the maker movement. In order to do so, we have created a space called the INIAD Makers’ Hub which is outfitted with various types of equipment and tools and run by full-time staff dedicated to supporting the makers. This fully stocked hub enables students to realize their ideas.
