I am thrilled to announce the creation of Object Lab, a digital fabrication lab located at Towson University. Students and industry partners collaborate with laser cutting, 3d scanning, cnc milling, and three 3d printers: Object 30, Zprint250, and Roland's Solidscape. It's Next Gen Making. Here are some images to whet your appetite......Stay Tuned![gallery]
