Maker Environment
Located within our innovation lab, get access to soldering equipment, circuit testing, 3D printing, laser cutting and vinyl cutting.
Maker Space at the University of Salford
An additive manufacturing and digital fabrication facility that offers real-world engineering skills in the applications of digital fabrication, iterative design and innovation processes.
We knew that if we could make VR intuitive and easy to access content, for example the way platforms like Netflix and Amazon have, then the global market for this would potentially be enormous. The technology and network capability will finally be aligned to consumer appetite for content.
