About FabZone
Your community makerspace
FabZone is a non-profit community makerspace providing affordable access to specialized tools, collaborative workspace, and hands-on education where people ages 12+ can learn practical skills, bring creative ideas to life, and connect with fellow makers.
Located in the West Island of Montreal, our welcoming facility houses everything from laser cutters and 3D printers to woodworking equipment and sewing machines—tools that would be impractical for most individuals to own.
Through affordable memberships, engaging classes, and customized group workshops, we bridge the knowledge gap by teaching skills often overlooked in traditional education while creating a vibrant community where creativity and innovation thrive.
Our mission
Empowering makers, one skill at a time
Our mission is simple: Empower our community to learn and develop practical skills through affordable access to workspace, tools, equipment and training in a fun and collaborative atmosphere.
Our values
What we believe
Education
We help people build confidence and expand their abilities at every life stage, through hands-on learning, experimentation, and discovery.
Community
We bring people together across backgrounds, ages, and experience levels, creating a welcoming space where everyone can connect, create, and contribute.
Creativity
We nurture and celebrate creative expression in all its forms, empowering makers to explore their ideas and develop their unique voice.
Environment
We promote sustainable making through upcycling, repair, and thoughtful material use. By sharing space, equipment and knowledge, we are collectively able to reduce our impact on the planet.
Our foundations
FabZone is founded on four principles: Meet, Make, Learn, Share.
MEET
Connect with a diverse community of makers, from curious beginners to skilled artisans. FabZone is where creative minds find each other, spark new ideas, and build lasting relationships.
MAKE
Transform your vision into reality using our specialized equipment and spacious workstations. With access to tools that most people can’t have at home, nothing stands between you and your next great creation.
LEARN
Discover practical skills overlooked in traditional education, no matter your age or experience level. Our classes and workshops welcome everyone from first-timers to experts, proving it’s never too late to master something new.
SHARE
Whether it’s space, equipment or knowledge, FabZone has enough of it to go around, and is always open to new additions. By sharing resources, we create a more sustainable and accessible creative community.
