Welcome to the Pier 9 Workshops!

This is a live catalog of the machines we are currently using in our shops, including model numbers and links to machine spec's. We have 7 amazing maker-spaces on the Pier: a Digital Fabrication Room, Woodshop, Metalshop, 3D Printshop, Project Room, Electronics Shop, and Commercial Kitchen.

We are accumulating links to additional guides, tutorials, and example projects (being produced in our workshop) in the final chapter of this Catalog to help you get started with our machines!

We will keep this Instructable updated as we acquire new equipment or augment what we have. You can address more specific questions/comment/requests to P9Workshop@Autodesk.com.

More information about the Workshop, including how to become a Shop User is in Autodesk's Pier 9 Workshop Instructable.
