MakerBot 3D Printer: What Will You Make?
Demonstration of new 3D printer in Seymour College Union, September 10, 11 am – 1 pm.
Ship made from 3D printer in Drake
This fall, a MakerBot 3D printer and scanner are available for student, faculty and staff use. 3D printer applications are being used in medicine, business, education, arts, space exploration and more.
A thin resin filament is heated and extruded to form objects (e.g., nuts and bolts, bookmarks, combs, cookie cutters, toys, etc.). The set-up encourages hands-on design skills and visual thinking.
MakerBot Roadshow Schedule:
• Tuesday, September 10, 11 am - 1 pm, Seymour College Union
The three-dimensional printer and scanner will be housed along with other tech tools (iPads, Nooks, bluetooth keyboards, adapters, outlets, etc.) in Drake Memorial Library.
