How to access the space?

First, do the prototyping online training (general and safety): https://make.epfl.ch/training. This will give you access to the prototyping spaces (SPOT and SKIL).

Then, follow the dedicated on-site training (register on Doodle). This will give you access to the 3D printing room (@SPOT) and level 2 printers (Prusa printers)
