Equipment Certifications and Orientation Appointments

Some Imagine Space equipment requires that clients complete a certification and/or sign an agreement form before they can book the equipment for use.

Appointments for sewing machine orientation [10 min] are available during Imagine Space opening hours.

Appointments for serger and embroidery machine certifications are available on Monday evenings, Tuesday afternoons, Wednesday evenings, and Saturday afternoons.


To use the 3D scanner, an appointment with staff is recommended, as it requires set-up time and hands on assistance.

To use a 3D printer, clients must sign the user agreement form. Staff can also provide an introduction to the process, available during Imagine Space opening hours.

The green screen, camera equipment, and button maker are all available for in-branch use. Schedule an appointment so that staff can have the equipment ready to use.

The Laser Cutter certification process starts with an online video and quiz. It is completed with a certification appointment, available on Tuesday evenings and Saturday mornings. Once you have completed the quiz, you will be invited to email the Imagine Space directly to schedule your 1:1 certification.
