M2.01 - Large Format Printer

M2.01 Logo

The Ingram School of Engineering at Texas State University is home to a valuable asset: a large format 3-D printer that, unfortunately, has remained dormant in storage. However, this 3-D printer holds tremendous potential as a cornerstone of the Ingram Hall Makerspace, an integral extension of the School of Engineering. Bringing this printer back into operation and enhancing its functionality represents a crucial opportunity for the university to reclaim a significant investment currently lying fallow. Revitalizing this printer is not merely about salvaging equipment; it's about restoring a vital resource to the university community. By refurbishing and optimizing this technology, we're not only reclaiming an expensive but idle asset, but we're also enriching the learning environment within the Ingram School of Engineering. Moreover, by making this large format printer accessible, we're offering an unparalleled experience to those eager to explore its capabilities. This project's completion is essential not just for reclaiming lost value, but for unlocking new avenues of innovation and learning within our engineering community.
