The Illinois MakerLab is the world’s first Business School 3D Printing Lab providing University of Illinois faculty and students with the knowledge and resources to be at the forefront of the emerging maker movement. 3D printing (and the emerging Maker Movement) provides a means of democratizing innovation by empowering individuals with the know-how and tools to manufacture the objects they consume. The lab is equipped with sixteen MakerBot Replicator 2 desktop 3D printers, 3D design software, and 3D scanning devices. In addition to providing access to these tools, they also conduct training on a variety of aspects of 3D printing, including 3D design, scanning, and manufacturing. They enjoy hosting visitors, so if you find yourself on our campus, please stop by!
