Idea Foundry - 3D Printing Service in Columbus

Took 2 CNC classes here and they were both excellent. Luck and Sally were the teachers. Building is a former shoe factory and later Harley Davidson motorcycle factory. The renovations are terrific. Work and learning spaces are great.

Went for the Valentine event, got to create several things and design things. The meal was nice and the staff were helpful and friendly.

Took a welding class here. Super professional, very fun, membership is reasonable (about a gym membership) Great people. Instructor knew their stuff! Great creative environment. The owners showed up and were very friendly.

I absolutely LOVE this place. I moved to FL in June 2022, but was a member of The Idea Foundry for about a year before I moved. I can’t quite remember how I came across this company, but I had a huge hankering to create. If you’re looking for a new hobby, want to get those creative juices flowing, or just want to explore, this is the place for you. I signed up for a woodworking class (u cant use the machines unless you can prove you know what you’re doing, obvi) and was super nervous bc I thought I’d be the only person in the group to have zero woodworking (WW) experience. Surprisingly, it was a mixed bag of ages, experience, gender. The instructor was incredible (how I wish I remembered his name)! I made some friends too. Unfortunately, there isn’t an Idea Foundry in St. Petes. Try something new, get your booty up, & just take a class or two!! [my only complaint would be: I think I took the WW on a Saturday. I was late and called like 30 mins before to notify them i’d be late. when I got there, the building looked deserted & the doors were locked. it took me, probably another 20 mins, to actually get in. the instructor & the people in the WW class were the only people in the building. there really needs to be a way to contact SOMEONE on the weekend when there are classes.] A few months after the WW class my dad and I took a class on stained glass. It was fun- we had a hoot! tbh, way more difficult than I anticipated. stained glass is no joke 😱 *this is not an ad. did not receive compensation. 😂 I just liked this place a lot. Thank you IF and staff for a great experience! .

This place has some of the best music events i’ve ever been to and the staff is absolutely amazing !!! Me and my girlfriend love it here !
