Maja Sweeny '09 led a group of Allegheny students in the construction of a RepRap, an open source 3D printer, in the Spring and Summer of 2009. We will be resuming work on this printer soon, once lab space becomes available.

Sara Doan '11 and Stephanie Cost '11 are working on usable software to support the transformation of 2D diagrams into 3D objects that blind students of computing and other disciplines can use to "see" what is going on in their classes. Their work is supported by the Collaborative Research Experiences for Undergraduates programme, and makes use of the CupcakeCNC from MakerBot.
