UNC Chapel Hill Offering Free 3D Printing on Campus at New Makerspace

[Brian_Krassenstein]

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has found a way to make cutting-edge technology available to all of its students in a more widespread and practical way. The Kenan Science Library at UNC Chapel Hill has created its own Makerspace as part of its University Libraries’ Research Hub. Students, staff, and faculty can use the facility as long as they have an active UNC library card. The Makerspace has a scanner and four 3D printers available for use, and is staffed with students who can assist inexperienced makers, whether students or faculty.

If they ever need cleaning filament or other samples, feel free to reach me. Definitely need to fully support local universities.
