Elon University Deploys 3DPrinterOS to Maker Hub
North Carolina-based Elon University is committed to fostering a culture of innovation, and has deployed 3DPrinterOS, a connected ecosystem by 3D Control Systems, to improve its Maker Hub. The university’s makerspace began in 2014 as a mobile cart, and has since grown to two locations with hand tools, power saws, a CNC router, a drill press, laser cutters, and 15 Ultimaker 3D printers. The Maker Hub has dedicated 80,000 hours to 3D printing in those years, and printed over 16,000 objects. The 3DPrinterOS solution is helping Elon manage its makerspace more efficiently, which enables an optimized 3D printing…
