Explore Student & Faculty Projects

  • 3D Printer - Prototype

    Our 3D Printer created these cases to help track bats and other wildlife. We printed cases for a Biology Research Project to protect electronic listening devices that needed waterproof enclosures.

  • Utilize Virtual Reality

    VR can be used to virtually travel to far away places, create all new environments, or learn in an immersive experience.

  • Laser Cutter - 3D Art Project

    Laser Cutting and engraving can be used to cut precise shapes and to engrave a variety of materials. Consider using it for artistic purposes or to create structural elements, chassis, boxes, etc.

  • Soldering Project

    We offer tools to work on electronics projects, from Arduino and Raspberry Pi microcontrollers, to electronics parts, soldering irons and other tools.
