Hello everyone, Spring Break is just about over at Wayne College; students and instructors begin the final weeks of Spring semester on Monday.  A steady stream of community members and students visited the 3D Lab throughout the week, keeping our lab staff busy in addition to their usual duties.  Dynamics class students worked on model rockets for the upcoming launch in May, another person brought a broken lamp retainer to design a 3D printed replacement, and Tristan helped a friend build a mug drying “spinner” using MDF wood cut on the laser engraver.  There is always something interesting happening in the 3D Lab!

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 →
