The 3D Printing Working Group is maturing, complete with a shiny new mailing list
Posted on April 9, 2014 in Uncategorized by Eric Lease Morgan
A couple of weeks ago Kevin Phaup took the lead of facilitating a 3D printing workshop here in the Libraries’s Center For Digital Scholarship. More than a dozen students from across the University participated. Kevin presented them with an overview of 3D printing, pointed them towards a online 3D image editing application (Shapeshifter), and everybody created various objects which Matt Sisk has been diligently printing. The event was deemed a success, and there will probably be more specialized workshops scheduled for the Fall.
Since the last blog posting there has also been another Working Group meeting. A short dozen of us got together in Stinson-Remick where we discussed the future possibilities for the Group. The consensus was to create a more formal mailing list, maybe create a directory of people with 3D printing interests, and see about doing something more substancial — with a purpose — for the University.
To those ends, a mailing list has been created. Its name is 3D Printing Working Group . The list is open to anybody, and its purpose is to facilitate discussion of all things 3D printing around Notre Dame and the region. To subscribe address an email message to listserv@listserv.nd.edu, and in the body of the message include the following command:
where Your Name is… your name.
Finally, the next meeting of the Working Group has been scheduled for Wednesday, May 14. It will be sponsored by Bob Sutton of Springboard Technologies, and it will be located in Innovation Park across from the University, and it will take place from 11:30 to 1 o’clock. I’m pretty sure lunch will be provided. The purpose of the meeting will be continue to outline the future directions of the Group as well as to see a demonstration of a printer called the Isis3D.
