Abstract:    With the economic development gradually stepping into the new normal, maker space has been booming in China in a short period of time. Maker space has become an important carrier for innovation and entrepreneurship of small and medium-sized enterprises, and playing a vital role in fully stimulating the vitality of mass innovation. However, at the present stage, there are some practical problems such as unreasonable space design, insufficient entrepreneurial service capacity, hollowing out, serious homogenization, and even becoming the "middleman landlord", which seriously affects the innovation and development of maker space. 
    Based on the management practice of maker space and the innovation theory, this paper collects data by questionnaire survey and constructs an empirical model through hierarchical regression method. It explores the influence mechanism of maker space on the innovation performance of internal enterprises from the spatial level, enterprise level and environment level. At the spatial level, spatial services are selected as the moderating variable of the impact of maker space design on enterprise innovation performance. On this basis, the influence at the enterprise level is investigated from the perspective of absorptive capacity, and the role of dynamic environment in this process is further analyzed in combination with environmental factors. 
   The research result showed that: (1) in the space level, the space design of maker space directly affects the enterprise innovation performance. In addition to meet the demand of basic office, perfect office space should focus on establishing new social space. through the living quarters of the open sharing design, the maker space can provide the internal enterprise more opportunity to exchange and share knowledge, fully motivate members of the creative potential. (2) At the entrepreneur level, enterprises′ absorptive capacity has an impact on their innovation performance, and even directly affects the interaction between space design and space services on their innovation performance. Enterprises with strong absorptive capacity will have a stronger impact on them, and they will know better how to use the resources in the maker space. The free and open space design brings rich social network relationships to the enterprises, and the strong absorptive capacity makes it easier for them to absorb new knowledge and cooperate with entrepreneurs from different fields, so as to stimulate innovative ideas among each other. (3) At the environment level, changeful external environment to stimulate enterprises to better use space design and space services to improve their innovation performance. Rapid transition change, economic growth, technology update, competition internationalization as the main characteristics of the external environment change, make it hard for entrepreneurs let their knowledge technology to meet the needs of market development. Therefore, they are more willing to acquire knowledge, information, resources and opportunities through more channels, forcing entrepreneurs to make decisions, so as to improve the innovation performance of enterprises. 
    The conclusions are conducive to clarifying the internal mechanism of innovation activities in maker space, in order to expand the theoretical basis of empirical studies related to maker space, providing practical inspiration to promote the innovation performance of maker space, and improving the design of maker space and related supporting services.
