Makers Central 2023: A Shocking Experience!

Makers Central 2023 was a truly remarkable event that brought together a diverse community of makers, enthusiasts, and creative minds. We were thrilled to participate in the show once again. The event showcased the power of collaboration, the excitement of innovation, and the joy of sharing our passion for making.

One of the highlights of Makers Central 2023 was the opportunity to connect with incredibly talented makers from various disciplines. Woodworkers, metalworkers, 3D printing enthusiasts, and DIY enthusiasts gathered under one roof, inspiring one another with their projects and techniques. Engaging in conversations and witnessing the remarkable craftsmanship was both humbling and invigorating. The sense of camaraderie and support within the maker community was truly uplifting, motivating us to push the boundaries of our own creativity.

The Main Attraction!

At the heart of our exhibition was our spectacular Scalextric track using some custom size Shadow Foam. The track not only entertained the attendees but also served as a conversation starter, allowing us to introduce the benefits and versatility of Shadow Foam to a wider audience. The enthusiasm and positive feedback we received were overwhelming. Seeing the excitement on the faces of participants as they raced their cars around the track was truly gratifying.
