• “I’ve done all my editing here and now I’m applying to jobs using these projects as evidence of my abilities. If this wasn’t here I’d be DOOMED.”
• “The Digital Media help desk attendants saved my project more times thank I can count and I can’t thank them enough.”

Alex SchreyerProgram Director, Building and Construction TechnologySenior Lecturer, Architecture + Design
BCT 420: Designing with 3D CAD and BIM
“During the 2015 spring term, students
from the Commonwealth Honors College
and the Building and Construction
Technology program were among the
first to turn their 3D printing ideas into
reality using the UMass Library's new 3D
Innovation Center.
Shown here, students printed truss
bridge models, tools, a foldable comb, a
cup holder, and a keychain.”
Eric PohlerAssistant Professor of Classics
Digital Humanities:The Pompeii Quadriporticus Project
“Bringing 3D printed models of actual artifacts
into the classroom gives an immediacy to the
object and recreates something of that
confrontation that comes in actual fieldwork..”
Carolina AragónLecturer, Landscape Architecture + Regional Planning
LA297D/ LA 506 Studio - Design with Landform
“The use of the 3D printing is a great
opportunity for students to visualize
their digital models, explore new
opportunities, communicate with
clients, and more quickly generate
design alternatives. The combination of
digital and physical models, allows
students to better grasp concepts
related to the shaping of terrain, while
encouraging creativity in their designs.”
Torrey TrustAssistant ProfessorDepartment of Teacher Education & Curriculum Studies
EDUC 693: Instructional Design of Educational Technology
“This project-based course focuses on the
theoretical and practical issues related to
designing instruction for digital learning
environment. It is designed to show future
teachers how to use 3D printers as
instructional tools for supporting constructivist
learning experiences that are centered around
design, creativity, and innovation.”

Aaron AraujoNeck Brace PrototypeStudent-College of Engineering
MIE 415 Produce Design and Development
“The 3D printed object is a neck brace to
prevent neck injury for off road cyclists…We
chose to 3D print because it was the best
production option to go from a computer aided
design model to a physical prototype. The result
are nothing short of satisfactory. We have an
exact physical model of what was designed on
the computer using solid works. Not many other
production methods offer this.”

“The arm enables our client to pick up dropped objects
from the floor whereas before she had to wait for
someone to help her. This reduces tripping hazards and
helps our client keep her home clean. We chose 3-D
printing for the object because of its speed, cost, and
simplicity to manufacture. No off-the-shelf item could be
found that fit our application.”

“We are using it for an educational tool in our
public debate and hopefully use it as a model
to build a system on campus…The result of the
3D printed object has allowed us to present
complicated design information with a visual
aide. People have responded well to this
project, and we are more prepared compared
to other teams in our project.”

HONORS 391A: Digital Humanities
“…an investigation of 3D printing usage for
making prosthetics and I also wanted to look
into how feasible this DIY approach actually is
(between downloading the files, finding the
resources to print the parts, and then actually
putting the hand together).”
David MatthewsMantis Shrimp AppendageCollege of Natural Sciences
MIE 415 Produce Design and Development
“We have used the model to measure
drag in a flow chamber. The object
created a lot of excitement from pretty
much everyone who saw it. In my lab, it
sparked many discussions on how they
could use a 3D printer both for teaching
and for their research.”
Nerses HaroutunianBioreactorChemical Engineering Research
“[Is a] case for the bioreactor, which is a
simple placeholder for internal
components, with an insert for well plates
(with tissue samples within it) to slide
into. The goal of this bioreactor is to
stimulate tissue samples and test their
strength and elasticity through
mechanical force.”
Abigail WilliamsUkuleleCollege of Humanities and Fine Arts, BDIC
HONORS 391A: Digital Humanities
“I chose to print a 3D ukulele in order to investigate
3D instruments as a viable alternative to
traditionally wooden instruments, in order to
reduce the environmental impacts of the music
industry…the corn based plastic filament means a
substitution of deforestation for the much more
sustainable reuse of corn refuse .”
Bill VannahMechanical engineer and Prosthetist Private Business Owner
“Transtibial prostheses (‘below knee’) bill
$990 million/year, in America alone, so the
usefulness and financial impact of what we
are doing is substantial. The human cost is
also significant: “poor fit” equates to difficulty
with the activities of daily living, time lost
from work, time in a wheelchair – most
relevantly, difficulty in holding a job and
building a life.”
Kieran Cullen, 11Hadley Elementary School
“Thanks so much for taking the time to
3D-print my cell project. My teacher and
the other kids at school liked it a lot.”
