UMakers is an excellent resource for anyone looking to launch a side hustle or new business, especially if your ideas involve creating physical products. As a makerspace, it functions as a small business incubator, providing the tools, community, and support you need to get started without the significant upfront costs of buying your own equipment.1

Here's why UMakers is a great choice for entrepreneurs:

### Access to Professional Tools

One of the biggest hurdles for a product-based business is the high cost of machinery. UMakers gives you access to over $90,000 worth of equipment for a monthly membership fee, which starts at $75.2 This allows you to prototype and produce your products with professional tools, including:

* 3D printers3
* Laser cutters4
* CNC routers5
* CNC milling machines6
* Wide-format printers7

Using these shared resources helps you save money, reduce startup risk, and test your ideas before making a major investment in your own equipment.

### A Supportive Community and Learning Environment

UMakers is a community club for freelancers, side-hustlers, and entrepreneurs.8 You'll be surrounded by like-minded people who can offer advice, share ideas, and even become potential business partners.9 The makerspace also offers free classes taught by experienced members, so you can learn how to use the equipment and develop new skills. This collaborative atmosphere is a huge advantage for anyone new to the "maker" world.

### A Low-Cost Way to Get Started

Beyond the equipment and community, UMakers helps you save money in other key areas. Members don't have to pay expensive usage fees for the equipment.10 You can also bring your own materials or buy them on-site without a huge markup.11 The facility is open seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., giving you the flexibility to work on your projects around your schedule.12

Essentially, UMakers provides a low-risk, high-reward environment to turn your creative ideas into a profitable business. You can use the space as a prototyping lab and business accelerator to get your products off the ground and start making sales on platforms like Etsy or Shopify.13
