Keep Creativity Powered!

RMM is a place where you can walk in with an idea in your head and find the equipment, knowledge, and skills needed to help you make that idea a reality.

This year, the laser cutter and a wall of 3D printers that were purchased through donations were key components to RMM’s response to the PPE shortage. RMM organized a distributed manufacturing infrastructure that produced over 4000 face shields for first responders and healthcare workers. Thanks to your donations you impacted Birmingham, Alabama in an invaluable way. Imagine what RMM can accomplish with more equipment, and more capabilities!

Red Mountain Makers also:

• Rebuilt the woodworking area into a more open space with proper dust collection
• Added another wood lathe, a band saw, a Maslow CNC router, and more cordless drills
• Expanded the metalworking area to add a massive industrial metal lathe and sand blaster
• Retooled and revamped the Biolab to add an aquaponics setup
• Added tinting to the front room windows and air conditioning to the front room and woodworking area
• Revive the textiles space with new organization and storage for the fabrics and tool collections available
• Begun a rollout of a dozen of their SmarterBham air quality sensors throughout the city

RMM wants to add new tools to increase their capabilities by

• Replacing three worn out and leaky air compressors with a new high SCFM compressor that can run tools properly
• Add a multi-process welder to weld aluminum
• Add a CNC machine to increase production capability
  
• Purchase laptops that will allow us to increase the range of classes and activities offered. 
• These improvements will help build sustainable growth in the long term!
