Protospace - Calgary's Makerspace

A heaven for all kinds of makers, I have learned so much over the last 3 years! From welding to laser cutting and 3d printing. Highly recommended to visit the open house every Tuesday between 7 and 9 PM, to see it for yourself.

I have been a member less than a year. and I can say this space is VERY different from society at large in a good way. and plus, if you have a strong passion for science and technology, than there is a very good chance that you'd like it here.

Imagine having access to more equipment than you could ever own for $55 a month and hang out with people that don't suck.

Protospace is great to work on your projects. They have a great variety of tools but the real reason to join is the members. This is the best place in Calgary to exchange ideas with brilliant and interesting makers.

It is beyond my imagination that there could be a better maker space anywhere ... amazing people, awesome tools and machines, 24/7 access and very affordable!!

Excellent place to learn a new skill, or get your project finished. They have laser cutters, CNC mill, a lathe, wood shop, way to many tools to list in a short review. Membership is only $55 and you can come and go as you please. There are lots of awesome people willing to help you as well.

Protospace. Come for the tools, stay for the people. What first drew me to Protospace was the idea of being able to access such a wide array of large tools (CNC mill, metal lathe, welders, laser cutters, 3D printers, full woodshop, electronics room, ect.) at such a great price. The reason I continue to be a member, even through times where work has me too busy to do any personal projects is the people. I make a point of coming every Tuesday just to meet people and learn. There's just such a vibrant welcoming and smart group of people there. I truly feel that the community built at Protospace is just as valuable, if not moreso than the tools it provides access to.

Calgary's very own community run makerspace. I have learned so much here and had access to tools I could never afford or maintain.The members are welcoming, friendly and helpful. Visit any tuesday night open house to see for yourself.

I’ve been a member for four months.The space has maintained equipment, and a knowledgeable and welcoming membership. I have had good access to tools whenever I dropped in.The courses are run by volunteer members. The ones I’ve attended were well organized and VERY well done.Recommended.

Amazing organization with fancy tools that the average person can’t afford to have in their garage. Laser cutters, cnc mill, lathe, etc.Well worth the monthly membership fee, especially being the only makerspace in Calgary with 24/7 access.
