From the Editor: 3D Printing at In-plants
At the same ACUP conference, I also bumped into Robert Carlson, manager of the print laboratory at South Dakota State University, who already had plans to add 3D printers. Today his in-plant has four of them, which are mainly used by students to produce projects they have designed. Robert sees 3D printing as a value-added service—like laser engraving and fabric printing, which his shop also added—that is helping out the university and also generating more interest in the in-plant.
