Overview
Run by graduate students, the mechanical engineering workshop is packed with four kinds of 3-D printers, two laser cutters, a precision lathe, a water jet cutter, a CNC mill, and countless power and hand tools. [...]a few months later Du would help Haji, the current president of the shop, think through some of the mechanics of a device she’s building for her PhD research.) The facility is one of the first products of an Institute-wide effort to upgrade makerspaces, expand access to them, and foster more maker communities on campus. A multiyear program called Project Manus includes a new course, Intro to Making, which launched this semester; a planned 20,000-square-foot Mega Makerspace on the ground floor of the old Metropolitan Storage Warehouse on Vassar Street; and a unique freshman training space called the MakerLodge.
