About FUSE
Makerspace

FUSE Makerspace

The FUSE Makerspace is a community center with tools that allow members to design, prototype, and create manufactured works.

We partner with Central New Mexico Community College (CNM), giving our members access to affordable, high-quality classes as well as mentoring from other makers and community members.

We believe in fostering the startup spirit in Albuquerque’s Innovation District by creating jobs and supporting businesses in the downtown community. We are invested in stimulating creative thinking and economic growth in Albuquerque and the surrounding areas.

Making a Community

We are a proud tenant of the InnovateABQ campus. InnovateABQ supports a “Grow from Within” strategy focuses on creating industry-relevant skills programs, supporting entrepreneurs, helping existing firms expand and innovate and strengthening local assets that improve the economic prospects of local workers and industries.

At FUSE, you can meet other makers, entrepreneurs, students and hobbyists to work on your projects with mutual support and inspiration.

We also partner with local businesses and organizations to develop tailored events and training opportunities in the community and for our local school programs.

What We Offer

  • A safe, professional facility for small-batch manufacturing your ideas.
  • Access to equipment and community to bring your ideas to life.
  • Digital and Analog equipment and tools for precision and large-scale projects. 
  • A collaborative, creative working environment.
