About us
We are creative people who help people be more creative
Started in 2023, It Begins in Brockport is a community makerspace situated along the Erie Canal. We started with a desire to share our love of making things using 3D printers and laser cutters.
In a few short years, we’ve grown into a group of passionate makers with modern tools and a comfy space to host crafting activities, skill-building workshops, and project showcases.
Our Tools
We have a full array of digital fabrication tools, including...
3D Printing
The Prusa XL has a large print bed and two independent toolheads. The Bambu X1 Carbon provides easy printing with up to four different colors.
Laser cutting
The XTool P2S can cut wood, acrylic and other materials up to a half inch thick. We also have the rotary attachment for tumblers, wineglasses, and more.
Teachergeek
The Teachergeek cart is a kit of over 14,000 pieces that can be used for rapid prototyping or STEM learning activities.

Hi, I’m BoB. I started It Begins in Brockport because I believe creativity and STEM learning don’t stop when we leave school — they’re lifelong skills that help us solve problems, express ourselves, and build community. IBiB is my passion project, but it’s also so much more than me. It’s our members, our neighbors, and the friends who share their knowledge and talents here. Every tool we use, every project we create, and every new skill learned is possible because of community support.
