During these times there will be a makerspace student engineer on-duty in the makerspace to help however we can. If you'd like one-on-one training in a new skill such as 3D modelling, or even tutoring in a STEM related topic; stop in as needed.

Make sure to check the location on this posting.

Every Friday we'll host a session in the Makerspace Center (Small Hall) to work with the more advanced features and functions of 3D modelling and design. If it happens to be a warm sunny Friday, we'll switch this up to setup and use the outdoor woodshop. All are welcome to join!

3D modelling and printing are the future core of manufacturing & rapid prototyping. That's why we're here to help you learn and get certified every, single, weekday. Come join the fun for a half hour session every weekday at noon, and learn a new skill.

Build-a-Brain Workshop (a User Group)

Build-a-Brain Workshop (a User Group)


February 14, 2020

This MSE hosted session will be project specific and will focus on an ongoing effort to develop a robot to 3D print viscous materials, and generally be able to use syringes and pipettes to automatically dispense or print a wide variety of items at very low cost. The goal is to produce an open-source, high resolution system design for the world to use that is very low cost.

Specifically, the first applications we will we focusing on are the LifeInk Collagen Printing process for printing a nose ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jIEGiins84 ) and auto-pipetting of fluids.

This user group session will engage with robotics, mechanical design, 3d printing, fluid mechanics, programming, chemistry, biology, and much more. Come join the fun and help us create a great new tool at the Build-a-Brain Workshop.
