Make a 3D printer

Make your own 3D printer in a weekend! The Reprap movement is a free open source community that helped kick start the current crop of affordable 3D printers. Since the designs are all open source, you can download all of the software and physical plans for free! Build your own printer, customize it for your personal needs, and then share it with the world!

3D printers are useful and fun! Now you can have your own! This project demonstrates how easy it is to build your own 3D printer.

Lynx A Camera

It’s the world’s first point-and-shoot 3D camera. It’s not a conventional camera, but it’s like a camera. If you can use a point-and-shoot Nikon, you’ll find the Lynx even easier to use. Instead of outputting 2D images, it produces 3D models of whatever you point it at. Come over and get 3D scanned!

Lone Star Hovercraft

See how new materials and techniques, as well as quiet and efficient engines are used in the construction of homebuilt hovercraft. We’re working to make hovercraft easier, safer, and more fun for builders of all experience levels. We have a hovercraft on display, as well as a retired engine that’s been cut away and turned into an interactive model.
