Tactile clicking can be heard around the classroom as 33 students peer at their computer screens.
Each screen shows a visual model representation of a popular, round Nintendo character named Kirby being rendered in real-time by 3D modeling software.
While some students review their models, others help anyone struggling with the intricate software. Club President and founder Joseph Dean is eager to help his fellow club members.
For Dean, the need to help others inspired the club’s inception.
“I wanted to teach 3D printing to people who are intimidated by 3D printing,” Dean said.
The 22-year-old mechanical engineering major said the club officially began a week before the fall 2022 Club Rush event, held from Sept. 13 -15.
