On the Grid : MakerLabs

"Slightly West of Grandview-Woodland,MakerLabs is a shared workspace that offers tools that are inaccessible to most creatives. Like laser cutters, 3D printers, CNC routers, 3D scanners, sewing machines, woodworking tools, even an electronics lab. From jewelry to signs to canoes (yes, canoes), you name it, they probably make—and sell—it." - WoodType

I recently worked on a project requiring precise hole cuts in metal and plastic boxes, and Maker Labs was the perfect spot. The facility is well-equipped, and the staff is super helpful. Highly recommend Maker Labs for anyone working on hands-on projects. Huge thanks to Derek and the team!

I had high expectations for MakerLabs, especially after reading all the positive reviews. Unfortunately my experience was not at all what I'd been led to believe it would be. I chose them to engrave a handmade (by me) leather wallet for my partner's birthday, featuring an oak tree that holds personal significance. I spent time researching trustworthy businesses, and despite some initial concerns about pricing and turnaround times, MakerLabs promised to complete the job within two weeks for a $50 upfront fee. Their prompt responses and glowing reviews reassured me that the engraving would exceed my expectations. The morning after dropping off my wallet, I received an email from MakerLabs containing a photo of my wallet with a 2-inch scratched area on the surface. The email mentioned, without an apology, that a piece of tape used to mark the engraving location had torn off some of the varnish. They claimed that the engraving would cover the blemish, but given the intricate design of the oak tree with its branches and negative space, I knew that it would be impossible to conceal completely. I expressed my disappointment, explaining that this was a one-of-a-kind, handmade gift and that I trusted them to handle it with care. Instead of addressing my concerns or apologizing, their response merely stated that they would 'polish the area with mink oil' and adjust the design orientation to cover the scratch. No apology was offered, nor was there any attempt to provide a refund or a more satisfactory solution. Of course, they weren't required to accept any responsibility in case of damage — at least, that's what the invoice I signed said when I paid upfront. However, that doesn't excuse the lack of a sincere, human apology. While mistakes can happen and I do not blame the employee who made it, I do blame MakerLabs for a lack of proper training for employees on handling delicate, engravable materials. The final product is acceptable, but the blemish remains visible, and I’m left feeling frustrated and disappointed with how MakerLabs handled the situation. I hope they take this feedback to heart and improve their customer care for future projects.

I had an excellent experience with these folks— very communicative, worked with me on refining a design, easy drop off and pick up, quick turn around, the laser engraving looks perfect, great price. Highly recommend!

We first encountered MakerLabs several years ago during an East Van Cultural Crawl. We were amazed at the facility and the equipment they have for artists and craftsmen. After ordering an Hinoki plank from Japan, MakerLabs was my choice to mill a bath tub tray I had designed. The price was reasonable and turn around was just a week. Workmanship was incredible. A big bonus was their ability to laser etch a kanji phrase on the front edge. Thanks to each of the artists who worked on this project!

I couldn’t speak any higher of my experience working with MakerLabs! They were prompt, efficient, helpful and the end product came out so much better than I expected! Thanks to Thomas and the team!

I’ve had the pleasure of using many of MakerLabs' services and have always been impressed with the results. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, making every project a great experience. From laser cutting and CNC to custom foam manufacturing, painting, and woodworking, their expertise shines through. I highly recommend them for collaboration and can’t wait to explore their workshops!

The Cutting Board class was very rewarding. Our instructor (Roman) was really professional and made us feel very confident. The end result was really satisfying.

I've had my studio at Makerlabs for 4.5 years and it's a great little community and a great place to work. There's an energy there that's very motivating to work on your own projects. The members and staff are very helpful when you have questions and there's a wide selection of tools to use that most people wouldn't have the space or funds to access on their own otherwise. You do need to take a class before using each type of tool / equipment to ensure you're using everything properly and safely, which is totally reasonable. The classes are reasonably priced as well. If you're looking to learn new things and have a creative environment to work in, I'd definitely recommend checking them out.

Maker spaces are showing up more frequently but few offer to 'teach' new usable skills. The requirement is to take a 'lab' in order to familiarize yourself with the various equipment. A good idea but it's 'really' expensive.

My favorite place in the world! 10,000 artistic projects in every direction. If you can't get inspired at Maker Labs, check your pulse.

Very expensive to use their space and no support after taking their overpriced "training" courses.
