Welcome To The Maker Society

From our humble beginnings as a club based within Cal State Long Beach, we have grown into an educational institution of our own with one purpose in mind: to bridge the gap between what students are taught in school and what the real world is like.

The Maker Society offers tutorials, curriculum, resources and kits aimed to enrich the educational experience of K-12 students and even higher education students and professionals looking to expand their knowledge and gain an edge in industry.

We cater to makers of all levels and believe learning is a life-long endeavor.

Our Story

The Long Beach Maker Society started as a special interest club at Cal State, Long Beach in 2012. Since its inception, the vision of the club was to introduce students to 3d printing technology and other embedded technologies through fun and immersive workshops that explored technology by building various gadgets.

By 2019 we had grown to over 200 members and our supplies and equipment were too much for the room that was lent to us by the school, so we moved off-campus.

In 2020 we became official! The Maker Society, LLC was incorporated and our growth continued…for a couple months.

When COVID-19 was changing the world, we were a young yet nimble company that could take any challenge and find a new angle to approach it. Instead of shuttering our doors, we found a way to use our resources and manufacturing expertise to help our community through the production of face shields and PPE to combat the spread of the virus. So we kept going!

Today, we are one of the most reliable rapid prototyping production houses in our area offering 3d printing solutions to students, professionals, and hobbyists. Offering competitive pricing and dedicated staff at your side every step of the process is what makes us stand out.
