Our sponsorship of Arizona State University students is part of our ongoing commitment to supporting education. As Pratt Institute alumni, our founders Christina Perla and Manny Mota understand the challenges design students face, from long lines for 3D printers to high printing fees. That’s why we created the Makelab for #Students program, offering discounted 3D printing services to make prototyping more accessible. We also provide expert guidance to ensure student files are printable and optimized, helping the next generation of designers bring their ideas to life without financial barriers. 👩🎓 Read Case Study: https://lnkd.in/dC6m4u7Z 👩🎓 Apply to Makelab for Students: https://lnkd.in/d9Xpy_nR

Earlier this year, we sponsored Arizona State University students to explore Vision-Controlled Jetting (VCJ) technology, empowering them with multi-material capabilities for advanced overmolding using Tough Epoxy and TEPU 30A - Soft Elastic materials. Here are two more innovative designs: 🔹 ARC Shower Water Flosser by Allen (Yi Lun) Chou An ergonomic and durable flosser designed to improve oral hygiene with multi-material construction. 🔹 Mindful Ear Therapy Unit (Metu) by Ian Barr A portable headset that promotes inner focus and peace through relaxing vibrations and projections. These projects highlight the potential of VCJ technology to create practical solutions for everyday health challenges. Read the full case study: https://lnkd.in/dC6m4u7Z
