Online booking
Sell real makerspace bench availability
Offer induction, bench and machine sessions around real workshop availability. A reserved workbench leaves the makerspace page immediately.
Learn moreOne live timetable
Keep every orientation time clear
Put project blocks, laser time and machine closures on one workshop calendar, with the correct bench or machine on every entry.
Learn moreAn induction is not an hour at a bench.
A taught session with a tutor and eight places, a space by the hour, and one machine everybody wants. Three products, three prices, one workshop.
Inductions have a size
A taught session holds what the tutor can supervise. When the places are gone the session comes off the page rather than quietly overfilling.
The laser cutter is the constraint
Everybody wants the one machine. Booking it by the hour as its own thing is what stops the queue forming around a bench nobody needed.
Bench 4, not "a bench"
Each bench is bookable in its own right, so closing one for a repair leaves the rest of the workshop online instead of shutting Saturday.

Built for your workshop
Built for every kind of workshop booking
Shop orientations
Guests reserve live makerspace bench inventory, and completed checkout removes that exact workbench block immediately.

Schedule assigned makerspace bench time weekly or monthly on Free, ending after set sessions or on the selected date.
Laser cutter time
Protect the complete reservation, including orientation time, while unrelated inventory remains available.
CNC router reservations

Project date changes
Put a member on another bench without losing the payment status or the sessions before it.
Machine maintenance closures
Close the specific resource for machine closure while every unaffected space remains online.
Eight places, and it holds.
When you teach the induction rather than hire the bench out, the number of places is the number of stools, and the page stops selling at it.
Booked without asking anyone.
A member picks the machine, the hours and pays. It lands in the diary while the supervisor is still cutting something.

One app for every booking
Everything you need to run your workshop hire business.
One machine, one booking
The laser cutter is one machine. A booked hour leaves the page at once, so two members are never sent to the same bed at the same time.
Email reminders
Email the maker their bench, arrival time and dust-extraction notes ahead of materials are carried into the workshop.
