After Spring ’21 finals some of our students from different departments belonging to the STEM academy joined us for a two day seminar, where they learn the basic operation of our Stratasys 3D printer and our Epilog Laser cutter, this was a preview of the type of activities we will hold in our maker space when completed. With a more advanced 3d printer, robotic machining equipment and a water jet cutter amongst other interesting automated manufacturing equipment
You can see in the pictures that the current space for the equipment is just too small. We can’t wait for the maker space in the Berkshire Science Commons to be completed by the end of this year!
