Really fun collaboration with the Bowdoin Theater & Dance Department for their production of the 39 Steps.

The shell-shaped footlights with LEDs came out great.

Polar Bears

Bowdoin Class of 1912 Polar Bears

We 3D scanned the polar bear. Now we are printing a few for some special friends of the Maker Space who will be visiting for reunion this weekend.

“The Class of 1912 presented a sculpture of the polar bear to the College in 1937. It is a life size granite statue designed by Frederic George Richard Roth. The figure stands in front of the entrance to Sargent Gymnasium, and has for many years symbolized Bowdoin College to alumni and to the public .”
