TechShop San Francisco

A playground for creativity, TechShop is an open-access, DIY workshop and fabrication studio. We are a community-based space where entrepreneurs, artists, makers, teachers and students come together to learn and work together.  

TechShop provides access to instructional classes, events, and over $1 million worth of professional equipment and software at each location. Each of our facilities includes laser cutters, plastics and electronics labs, a machine shop, a woodshop, a metalworking shop, a textiles department, welding stations, class and conference rooms, and much more. Members have open access to design software, featuring the Autodesk Design Suite. Huge project areas with large work tables are available for completing projects and working with others.  

Our incredible community of members and staff provide inspiration and support for creating projects. We offer comprehensive instruction and coaching from expert staff to ensure you have a safe, meaningful and rewarding experience. Most importantly, you can explore the world of making in a collaborative and creative environment. 

It's simple. Anyone may attend classes. For a monthly or annual fee, members can reserve and use TechShop's tools upon successful completion of equipment- specific Safety and Basic Use (SBU) classes. Talented staff members are available full time to help develop ideas and improve technical skills.
