Maker is a group of people who like or enjoy innovation and pursue the realization of their own creativity. Whether to realize commercial value and whether it is helpful to others is not their main purpose. The maker space is to provide these makers with a community platform to realize creativity and exchange creative ideas and products, combining offline and online, innovation and making friends.

Maker originated from the Fab Lab (Personal Fabrication Laboratory) initiated by the Center for Bits and Atoms (CBA) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Based on the development of social technologies from personal communications to personal computing to personal manufacturing, Fab Lab attempts to build a user-centered, application-oriented integration of all aspects from creativity, design, manufacturing, to debugging, analysis and document management. User innovation manufacturing environment. Inventions and creations will not only occur in universities or research institutions with expensive experimental equipment, nor will they only belong to a few professional researchers, but will have the opportunity to be completed by anyone, anywhere. This is the core concept of Fab Lab. The extensive development of the Fab Lab network has driven the wave of personal design and manufacturing, and maker spaces have emerged.

Domestic makerspaces are in the initial stage, and the source of creativity mainly comes from foreign open source websites. It has not yet formed a distinctive and sustainable development model. In addition to the fact that some maker spaces are comprehensive platforms, the professionalization trend of maker spaces in the future is inevitable. The business model and operating model of the makerspace itself are also worthy of discussion and exploration.
