Blueprint is the City Library Makerspace where anyone can learn how to create and share whatever their imagination can conjure using the latest in fabrication technology, design software and creative tools.

Our resources include sewing equipment, 3D printers, laser cutter, CNC routers, vinyl cutters, a heat press, and more. Visit us during opening hours to find out how we might help bring your project ideas to life. If you're interested, you can book an introduction to the space, or send us an email with your enquiry.

At present, bookings are not required to use the equipment at Blueprint. However, if you'd like to guarantee a particular time on our CNC router or laser cutters you can book a session in advance. You can also submit 3D print requests using our online form.

Resources available at Blueprint

3D Printing

We have several FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) 3D printers, including Ultimaker and Prusa printers, plus SLA resin printers for models needing fine detail.

Sewing Machines

We have sewing machines that anyone in the community can use. Bring your fabric and thread along.

Laser Cutters

Cut and engrave different materials such as wood & acrylic up to 9 mm thick. We can also cut soft materials such as cardboard, leather, or felt.

Blueprint Software & Computers

We have Windows and Mac computers with 2D and 3D design software installed.

Vinyl Cutter & Heat Press

Cut designs and lettering out of self-adhesive vinyl to make signs, stickers, decals, labels and stencils. Heat transfer vinyl is available for pressing onto fabrics to make custom clothing or reusable bags.

CNC Routers

We have two CNC (Computer Numerical Control) routers, which can cut and engrave materials such as wood and plastic.
