Hello everyone,<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a busy summer here at the Wayne College 3D Lab and other area makerspaces.\u00a0 Community members visit the lab almost every day, using the 3D printers and creating interesting works on the laser engraver, vinyl cutter, poster printer, etc.<\/p>\n

Speaking of engraving, we are thankful to Wooster Glass Company<\/a> and Jay\u2019s Glass Service<\/a> in Orrville for donating acrylic pieces for student and community projects.\u00a0 Students appreciate how easily their ideas can be laser-cut from acryllic, so it is a popular material in the 3D Lab!<\/p>\n

The Schantz Makerspace here in Orrville has been growing by leaps & bounds.\u00a0 They meet every third Monday at the Schantz Organ Company at 7:00 p.m. and draw 30-40 people at each meeting.\u00a0 This past Saturday marked the final day of June\u2019s 3D printer building workshop.\u00a0 14 people purchased kits and assembled the printers as a group.\u00a0 What an incredible experience!\u00a0 We are so thankful to Vic Schantz who made this workshop possible.<\/p>\n

Here are Wayne College, student Tim Winkler has a passion for puzzles and board games.\u00a0 He uses the laser cutter on MDF wood to cut intricate pieces that he designs himself using Adobe Illustrator.\u00a0 His latest inspiration is a puzzle box with moving pieces on its walls and mechanisms inside.\u00a0 By moving the pieces in a particular order, the lid unlocks to reveal yet another locked box.\u00a0 And the entire enclosure is locked with a special \u201cpuzzle key\u201d as well!\u00a0 It\u2019s an incredible piece of work and too much challenge for my paltry mind to figure out.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

The 3D Lab makes frequent road trips to schools and community organizations in our area.\u00a0 We were honored to be invited to St. Ambrose Catholic Parish<\/a> a short while ago, demonstrating 3D printing and discussing careers in engineering & art to excited middle school students during their \u201ccareer day\u201d.\u00a0 It\u2019s hard to believe that our portable 3D printer made over 60 trips since it was donated to us over two years ago!<\/p>\n

Stayed tuned next week as we have more news to reveal about the 2018 Wayne County Mini Maker Faire!<\/p>\n
