3D Printed Violin

Violin 3D printedOne of our Student Lab Instructors, @chenchenger03, made this fully functional, 3D-printed violin🎻. With basic violin accessories and some tuning, it gives a great sound🎵. Just another idea of the unlimited creativity you can unlock with 3D-printing.

Thanks to Hova Labs for their amazing project of 3D-printable instruments.

Custom Coasters for First-Year Students – Fall 2024

Due to the overwhelmingly positive response last year, First-Year students will once again be offered a blank cork coaster when they pick up their Digital Excellence Commitment (DExC) laptops this Saturday the 31st. With the software that the College provides they will be able to customize and “print” their own designs on the laser in the Maker Space. We look forward to meeting all 500 of them!
