Specialty and other unique uses

Maker space and workshop reservation software

HoldATime reserves maker spaces and workshops as open-shop hours or numbered benches. Libraries and schools keep the shop calendar off a whiteboard.

How to set it up

Book the whole shop for a class, or number benches when people work independently. Add questions for training if access is restricted.

3D printers as individual machines have their own page.

  • Create the shop resource and optional numbered benches.
  • Set open-shop or class duration.
  • Add training questions or approval if needed.
  • Post a QR code at the shop door.

Who it is for

Libraries, schools, and community workshops.

Frequently asked questions

Can you reserve maker spaces with HoldATime?

Yes. Hold the whole shop or number benches. The door poster opens availability.

Do we need a makerspace SaaS?

Not for the calendar. HoldATime does not bill machine time by gram of filament. It reserves named shop time.

How do benches and QR work?

Bench 3 is independent of the whole-shop hold if you use both patterns carefully. The poster opens the resource you posted.

Where do we start after picking a workshop?

Create the shop, decide whole-room versus benches, set duration, then publish.
