Makerspaces play a pivotal role in capitalizing on the knowledge and skills that is locked up in the people of our city. As urban environments compress, manufacturing hubs & product development incubators will become a multipurpose platform for creative entrepreneurs to turn knowledge into product and develop a business around that activity. A massive proportion of our knowledge/manufacturing resources, education and logistics industries focus around making activities and yet there is a glaring lack of support for makers during the period between idea (knowledge) and product…. Makerspaces fill this gap. Students, designers, creative businesses, start-ups and larger product companies all need affordable LOCAL prototyping and bespoke manufacturing solutions. We need to help them.Check out SPACE TANK... www.facebook.com/spacetankstudiowww.spacetankstudio.com.au
