3D Printing by students in Engineering and Arts & Sciences

The University of Alabama’s College of Arts & Sciences and College of Engineering are working together to create collaborative workspaces in the curriculum. These classes combine perspectives, as dynamic conversations break down traditional stereotypes.  The selected works on display for Kentuck’s March 7 Art Night represent various products influenced by this collaborative approach to the building of objects.

3D Printing, or Rapid Prototyping, has taken a significant new role on The University of Alabama campus.  Both Rodgers Library and the new Engineering 3D Printing Lab provide students and faculty with access and support for various printers.  This technology creates new ways to approach artistic design, and we are excited to share it as part of Art Night!
