About us

RemakerSpace is dedicated to driving the circular economy in Wales and beyond and aims to increase awareness of the benefits of reuse, repair, and repurposing to extend product life cycles.

The Centre has a wide range of facilities, including an industry-standard 3D printing lab, with a wide range of advanced Additive Manufacturing process technologies. We also have a visualisation space, which includes state-of-the-art virtual reality headsets to support our users in the design and virtual prototyping of repairs.

These advanced facilities are complemented by a well-stocked ‘workshop’, hosting a range of traditional tools and equipment, including woodworking, electrical repair and testing tools and industrial and domestic sewing machines.

We collaborate with three focal groups and provide the skills and equipment needed to develop new opportunities based on remanufacturing and repair services:

Communities

RemakerSpace provides access to remanufacturing facilities for Welsh community groups, charities, local authorities and other third-sector organisations.

The Centre offers a space where people can come together to collaborate, share ideas, learn new skills, and offers hands-on learning opportunities related to electronics, electrical and textile repair, 3D printing, and more.

Learners

We provide access to remanufacturing facilities to enrich student experiences (schools, colleges, universities)​ in the circular economy.

At RemakerSpace, learners embark on exciting hands-on learning experiences that ignite their creativity and curiosity using a range of tools and equipment. With an emphasis on reuse, recycling and remanufacturing, our toolkit spans a wide range of equipment and resources to promote a more sustainable approach to creation.

Industry

RemakerSpace provides training, support, and networking in remanufacturing and wider circular economy concepts.

Drawing upon our world-leading research in remanufacturing supply chains, we are well-placed to provide advice and guidance to businesses about how best to embrace remanufacturing within their operations, both to achieve environmental and economic benefits and the skills and equipment needed to develop new business opportunities based on remanufacturing and repair services.
