The vision of Tinkd is to create an autonomous, community-driven, shared space with access to tools for friendly, collaborative, inspirational, technical and creative expression and experimentation in the Bay of Plenty.
— Steven Vincent, Founder & Master Tinkerer —
Tinkd is a makerspace based in Tauranga, Bay of Plenty. We have zones which cover 3D Printing, robotics, electronics, sign-writing and vinyl/decal cutting, heat-transfer and textiles customisation, sewing and embroidery, computing (Windows, iOS, and Linux) and coming soon… light manufacturing.
