MakerSpace NYC

Brooklyn’s industrial waterfront still hums with the sound of machinery. MakerSpace NYC occupies a unit inside the sprawling Brooklyn Army Terminal at 140 58th St Bldg b unit 1c, a short walk from the Narrows. Shared workbenches, laser cutters, 3-D printers, and welding stations are available for members who need space to prototype, fabricate, or simply tinker. The setup suits everyone from independent designers to small-batch manufacturers who don’t have room for heavy equipment at home.

Access is by membership, but day passes can be arranged if you call ahead. Ask about tool training sessions or upcoming workshops—sometimes the best way to learn is to watch someone else run the CNC router. For directions, pull up the map here. Reach them at (718) 273-3951 before you show up with a sheet of plywood and a sketch.
