Paper Crane Lab

About

We’re a bunch of enthu cutlets who genuinely get a kick out of making things and messing up along the way. Paper Crane Lab is for anyone who’s ever wanted to try building something cool - no matter if you’re just starting out or you already know your way around a soldering iron.

Dive Into Workshops

We don’t do boring theory. In our digital fabrication workshops, you’ll actually use machines - design your own keychain, make a light-up card, or try your hand at creative electronics classes. Our sessions cover:

• 3D printing (keychains, jewellery, quirky cookie cutters)
• Laser cutting (personalized stationery, custom woodwork)
• Coding & robotics (from Arduino basics to React for those with some experience)
• Random fun stuff: stop motion animation, woodworking for kids, DIY 3D kaleidoscopes

Most workshops are beginner friendly (14+), and we run special camps for younger kids too. Just bring your laptop, we’ll handle the rest.

Build Your Own Stuff: Lab Access

With our PCLPass, the lab’s all yours. It’s like a gym, but instead of treadmills, you get access to:

• 3D printers (yes, we named them!)
• Laser cutter, vinyl cutter, electronics workbench, woodworking tools, sewing machine
• Makers around you for advice and casual collab

It’s not a regular coworking space - it’s for folks who want a proper DIY prototyping space. We’ll show you the ropes, but you’ll take the lead on your projects.

Drop By, No Pressure

We host open houses and repair days where you can just hang, see our 3D printing community hub in action, and maybe fix something broken. No gatekeeping, no faff - just genuine making.
