Hello everyone, It’s hard to believe that the middle of the Spring semester is just a couple of weeks away.  Mother Nature can’t make up its mind with winter; one day its relatively warm and pleasant, the next has a flash snowfall that closes roads.  The weather hasn’t hampered the camaraderie and diverse projects happening in the 3D Lab.  It’s been a particularly busy place this semester with plenty of students and community members alike hanging out, learning, making, and generally having fun. Last week, Kei and his father visited the lab to begin work on a fascinating project that involves NASA, long-duration space missions,Read More →

Hello everyone, Winter Break blew in and out of Wayne College quicker than the blistery weather outside!  During the holiday break, lab staff were busying fixing equipment, preparing new services, and enjoying the break between semesters.  Near the end of the semester, the 3D Lab was packed each day with students and community members, many crafting custom-made gifts with the laser engraver and 3D printers. The Spring semester started with a bang a few days ago.  Already the lab is frequented by many return students (and some new ones) and community members working on a variety of projects.  We are thrilled that one of ourRead More →

Hello everyone, It’s hard to believe that half the semester is behind us.  The fall foliage is just beginning to show its beauty on maple trees around campus.  We are holding our breath for the first snowflakes that seem certain to fall early this year with the below-freezing temperatures most mornings. The 3D Lab has been quite the hang-out place for students this semester!  Not just from engineering students, but other majors as well.  A couple of weeks ago, some students broughts guitar to teach each other how to play riffs, bars, and like.  Pleasant music wafted down A-Wing hall to the delight of many. Read More →
