Liaison Librarians Visit TX/RX Labs
The University of Houston Libraries Liaison Services group recently visited TX/RX Labs, a non-profit hackerspace located in Houston’s East End District.
As part of an interactive workshop, members of Liaison Services learned about 3D printing technology and created their own 3D printed objects. They also took a guided tour of the 40,000 square foot space and learned about the manufacturing and creative capabilities available at the labs.
Established in 2008, TX/RX Labs offers courses in and access to its rapid prototyping lab, wood shop, machine shop, electronics lab, and a wide variety of other tools. The goal of TX/RX Labs is to educate the public about technology and show how seemingly complex techniques can be used by anyone.
