Hello everyone, As to be expected at this point in the semester, the 3D Lab is a bustling place.  Engineering students are engrossed in their latest class assignments, flight club members build and test planes, community members design and print inventions, students finish homework, and others meet and socialize.  The lab has so much energy this time of year; it is exciting to watch the interactions and fun going on there. The two new 3D printers arrived early last week and are installed.  They could not have come at a better time as our oldest 3D printer has broken-down, needing a replacement motherboard.  Students areRead More →

Hello everyone, Exciting things are preparing to happen in the 3D Lab.  Now into the third week of the semester, engineering students will soon begin robotic designs that will use 3D printing for some of its parts.  These robots have specific tasks to perform such as throwing a weighted ball a calculated distance, locating and capturing an object in a confined area, and more.  The creative robotic designs never cease to amaze us. Later this week, we will receive two additions to the 3D Lab, matching Taz 5 3D printers!  These highly rated machines were provided by the Carl E. Congdon, Jr. and Susanna CongdonRead More →

Hello everyone, With the first week of the Fall semester at its end, the 3D Lab proves a busy place for students and community members.  We are interested to see what the engineering classes will cook-up in the lab for projects.  The lab is also used as a hang-out place for students to socialize, do homework, and help each other create cool things with the equipment.  The Wayne College R/C Flight Club had their first meeting there on Monday evening; be sure to stop by the next Monday at 6:00 if you are interested in joining! As introduced in a previous post, did you knowRead More →
