Currently, the makerspace has 12 in. x 12 in. and 12 in x 24 in mats, so your 'print' can have pieces no bigger than that size. When formatting your 'print,' it can also be helpful to give yourself a .25 in margin on each edge. This means, when you're getting started, that you may want to make all of your 'prints' 11.5 in x 11.5 in. or smaller.
The Design Space program is free, as are some of the assets (images/projects) available through the program. The majority of the assets in Design Space are an additional or subscription cost. You are able import your own assets using the necessary file types.
