ProtoHUB is a collaborative innovation and prototyping space designed to support interdisciplinary projects, rapid concept development, and hands-on experimentation.
This space supports coursework, student competitions, research prototyping and entrepreneurial development. ProtoHUB is ideal for electronics builds, early-stage mechanical prototyping, and iterative design testing.
Access to ProtoHUB requires completion of the Makerspace Safety Badge @ UNSW CBR City. Additional machine-specific badges may be required depending on the equipment being used.
Staff are available to assist with equipment guidance, safety compliance, and project support. Always consult the displayed Safe Work Procedures (SWPs) before operating equipment.

Entry-level badges are the mandatory first step for all users. Each badge covers the safety, emergency, and conduct requirements for a specific space. You must hold the relevant entry-level badge before accessing any equipment or progressing to additional badges.
These badges:
Machine-specific training delivered as required.
Individual machine badges provide access to specific pieces of equipment within the UNSW Canberra Makerspace. These badges are required before independent use of the relevant machine and are issued based on operational need.

Contact ProtoHUB technical staff if you are unsure whether an individual machine badge is required before using a piece of equipment.
