Spokane Create

Open hours are moving from Wednesdays to Tuesdays starting today.

See you Tuesdays 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM.

We will be closed this week (6/30/2021) due to extreme heat. Stay cool!

Wednesday open hours (5:30p-8:30p) will begin again starting
May 5, 2021.

All, we will be reopening when Spokane County moves to phase 3. Stay healthy! See you then!

During this difficult time, Spokane CREATE! has been asking what we can do to help fight COVID-19. We are starting to get the same questions from the maker community and we wanted to keep you posted on the current status of our efforts.

Spokane CREATE! has reached out to many local medical facilities in our area to see how we can help. In our message to these foundations we have outlined our specific capabilities including the following:

1. Working as a point of contact for the Spokane maker community. We can work with medical facilities to determine pre-approved and agreed upon 3D printed objects to request from the community.
2. Organizing a disinfection line for 3D printed objects - basically providing a method for medical facilities to receive a product that is ready to be used
3. Injection/cast molding production - possible ideas: masks, stethoscopes, face shields, etc.
4. Barriers - we have capabilities to build any size clear barriers (Think plexiglass except larger and any shape)
5. Vinyl fabric welding (Think the same process for making IV bags, but in any shape and size)
6. Gowns - industrial sewing capabilities
7. Aluminum fabrication - frames, mobile equipment, etc.

To date, all replies to our message have indicated that our message was received and they will reach out to us if our help is needed. This is inline with what we are hearing the general maker community is receiving as a response. Local medical facilities are likely overwhelmed with offers to help at this point.

The real challenge is likely a logistics issue. Spokane CREATE! is here to help solve those problems. At this point, we are standing by ready to help, waiting for a medical facility to confirm a local need.



The following video does a great job summarizing logistics issues and showing a working solution.
