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.
