Want to learn about 3D printing, laser engraving, or cutting intricate designs in vinyl or paper?
The CSM Library is offering Fall Semester 2022 Maker Studio sessions on Tuesdays starting at 12 pm. Planned activities will explore 3 of the Makerspace technologies owned by the library. Through these guided sessions attendees (CSM students, Faculty/Staff, and Community members) will be introduced to 3D printing, laser engraving and/or cutting, or Cricut (paper / vinyl / fabric) cutting projects. Each of these tools will allow the CSM community to expand their knowledge. Sessions are drop-in and no pre-registration is required. Projects outside of the scope of the planned activity will be supported as time and staffing permit.
Drop-in or Walk-in: 3D printing is available on a drop-in / walk-in basis (Wed & Thur). Come in with your projects. Or, we can suggest simple projects for you to learn with as we work with you one on one. Access is first come, first served. There are no set guided activities.
