We learned about &#8220;fab labs&#8221; and &#8220;maker spaces&#8221;. 3-D printing seems to be latest of gizmos for prototyping. He gave us a tour of his space, and I was most impressed with the laser cutter. At our most recent meeting <strong>Matt Leevy<\/strong> of Biology showed us how he is making models of people&#8217;s nasal cavities so doctors and practice before surgery. There I learned about the use of multiple plastics to do printing and how these multiple plastics can be used to make a more diverse set of objects. Because of the growing interest in 3-D printing, the Center will be hosting a <a href=\"http:\/\/library.nd.edu\/cds\/3D\/\" target=\"_blank\">beginner&#8217;s 3-D printing workshop<\/a> in on March 28 from 1 &#8211; 5 o&#8217;clock and facilitated by graduate student <strong>Kevin Phaup<\/strong>.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nWith every get together there have been more and more people attending with faculty and staff from Biology, Industrial Design, the Libraries, Engineering, OIT, and Innovation Park. <em>Our next meeting<\/em> &#8212; just as loosely as the previous meetings &#8212; is scheduled for <em>Friday, April 4 from noon to 1 o&#8217;clock in room 213 Stinson-Remick Hall<\/em>. (That&#8217;s the new engineering building, and I believe it is the <a href=\"http:\/\/n3d.nd.edu\" target=\"_blank\">Notre Dame Design Deck space<\/a>.) Everybody is welcome.
