Welcome to Spring AY21!

Ok, it has been a LONG time since an update and as we all know it has been a crazy year all around.

We are not quite out of the woods yet as there is still renovation going on in the MakerSpace, but we are close to being back open and I hope that once the semester "really" starts that we will be ready to support. The best advice I can give new MakerSpace users or followers is to catch up on some of our new initiatives:

- Our YouTube Channel has been revised and reorganized and is a good place to start.

- Our Twitter account is also the best spot for the most current happenings so please consider taking a look there.

I will provide more updates soon but the quick updates are: (1) Form3L is here for large format SLA printing (ask before using), (2) we have the ability to print metal with the Desktop Metal Studio system, and (3) we have powder bed fusion (PBF) now available with the Fuse1 (located in a nearby lab).

More soon.... Happy Printing!
