91成人短视频 3D Printing & Fabrication Center (3D-PFC)
The 91成人短视频 3D Printing & Fabrication Center (3D-PFC) serves as a "MakerLab" space for the design and development of low-cost scientific instruments, models for molecular visualization, and STEM educational tools for active learning. Furthermore, service-learning projects, community-based opportunities, and global outreach initiatives provide students with a sense of social responsibility, ethical awareness, leadership, and teamwork. The 91成人短视频 3D Printing & Fabrication Center supports opportunities to explore exciting innovations in teaching and learning that will enhance the lives of 91成人短视频 students and serve as a model to other liberal arts institutions.
For more information, please contact the 3D-PFC Director, Dr. Lon Porter. (Please note that Dr. Porter is on sabbatical leave during the 2023-24 academic year.)
