3D Printing

Here is the link to our Denison Seminar 3D Printing: from abstract to the concrete. Inspired by the work of Laura Taalman, and generous support from Denison, in the spring of 2015, I started exploring the world of 3D printing with a MakerBot Replicator 2 printer. I ran a one-credit hour seminar, 3D Printing and Design, with 12 amazing students who created some really cool stuff. This semester I am co-teaching our Denison Seminar with Chris Faur, an artist who is also an tech-guru! We now have a lab with six printers - looking forward to learning from Chris and our students. Cannot wait to see what they will create!
