Opportunities we offer
A machine becomes
part of our programme.
From a first introduction to a finished project: we give people practical ways to discover and use your technology.
- Training
- Workshops
- Open Lab
- Community projects
- Demonstrations
- Documentation
Hands-on workshops
We teach young makers how to use the equipment through guided, practical sessions.
Public access
Partner equipment supports community use alongside our own creative production, with induction and supervised access.
Real projects
Artists and makers develop prototypes, small runs and collaborative work.
Product demonstrations
Visitors can see the equipment in action, learn its possibilities and try it with guidance.
Stories & feedback
We document projects, share progress and user feedback, and acknowledge equipment partners.
A long-term collaboration
We can co-create workshops and demonstration days around your technology and our community.
For each partnership, we agree the access programme, training, consumables, maintenance and reporting together. Machine setup includes the necessary safety measures and extraction.
Planned programme
Access we want to make possible.
We are developing a youth programme combining practical workshops, open lab access and community time.
Youth meetups a month
Planned open gatherings to share ideas, shape the programme and spend time together.
Open & Intro Lab
Planned concentrated weekend sessions, followed by a Build Lab the next week.
Projects with visible results
Prototypes, prints, textiles and animations that participants can present and document.
These are planned formats, not delivered results. Launch dates and participant targets will be set against confirmed funding, equipment and capacity. We will track sessions, attendance, machine use and completed projects, and share progress with partners.
Local access · European community
A European home
for maker technology.
B34 can be a place in Sofia where people see, use and understand new manufacturing technologies in person. Together with equipment partners, we can host local demonstrations, practical learning and ongoing exchanges with makers.
Let’s build access together.
We work across all things digital. Bring your technology, expertise or an idea for collaboration.
