3D Printing at the Library of Engineering and Science

Our printers are heroes! Three of our printers, Vincent, Trombi and Rincewind, were drafted to help with the campus-wide PPE printing effort and sent to KNOY.

This Printer Fought Covid-19 design by wesvh on Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4341903

We were told that they worked 24/7 all summer for the effort,

and printed thousands of pieces which were used to make googles

and face shields for Indiana Hospitals.

We are very proud of our printers. They did good.*

*Most of the credit here actually goes to the grad students, faculty, and staff who ran the printers all summer.  You are all amazing!  Thank you for taking care of our buddies.
