i3 Detroit

Ever dream of a place where you could build and craft your heart’s desires? A place to find other Do-It-Yourself-ers and get tips and advice? A place where you could learn to use and have access to tools that would never fit into your garage or your budget?

That place exists today. Welcome to i3Detroit.

Here at i3Detroit, we want to create and build, probably much like yourself. We’re not a profit-driven tool rental center; we’ve got a burning passion to create, tinker, hack, and make, one that drives us to create the best possible community and space. Our members take pride in what we’ve built, and for good reason. We’ve got such a diverse range of things to create with here, and we’ve done it all as a highly-engaged volunteer community with a passion for things such as crafting, woodworking, metalworking, electronics, welding, programming, and digital fabrication!

Located near the heart of Ferndale, we’re close to many local events and an amazing community. If you’re curious about, or never heard of a Makerspace, then swing on by on a Friday evening (6:30 to 8:30 PM) to take a tour and get to know the membership!

Excited? Gotten this far? Come see us! You’ll find this is just the place you’ve been looking for!

We have a well-equipped woodshop and several complementary machines, such as laser printers and a 5x10' CNC router. Access to the entire space 24/7 is $59/month, though some machines require authorization.

i3 Detroit prides itself on being an open community, but that doesn’t mean anyone can just walk in, hand over a wad of bills, and get a key. We ask all of our prospective members to come check the space out and meet a few of the existing members as part of joining the community. Our signup process requires prospective members to get familiar with what it means to be part of a community-run organization before joining.
