3D Drawing with the Union College Maker Web
Home: New York, United States
Come use 3D pens to literally draw in thin air! A 3d pen is a handheld unique kind of drawing tool that works like a pen but spits out plastic. A 3d pen produces refined three-dimensional shapes which can draw on the surfaces or in the air and requires no computers or software. It uses ABS or PLA plastic, unlike a normal pen that uses lead or ink. The pen has a powered electric heater that has an extruder and a heating element that melts the plastic filaments. The ABS or PLA plastic filaments are fed in one end. Once the filaments melt, they are forced out through the extruder tip as warm thermoplastic that hardens within seconds. It's an exciting new kind of tool that you can come experiment with!

Union College Maker Web
The Union College Maker Web is a unique group of 5 Makerspaces (fabrication and tinkering labs) spread across campus dedicated to supporting maker activities, experimentation and hands-on learning for the entire campus community. These co-working spaces are at the intersection of departments and disciplines and we assist students and faculty with courses and research. We host many analog and digital tools for making and fabricating including 3D printers laser cutters and CNC milling machines.
