Eastern Shore Entrepreneurship Center Donates 3D Printer to Salisbury University

Robotic students at Salisbury University have a lot to look forward to when they had back to campus this fall. The Eastern Shore Entrepreneurship Center (ESEC) has donated a professional, 3D printer that will allow students to turn 3D CAD files into functional, durable 3Dobjects such as Arduino driven 3D printed Robots, small four- wheeled robots, even electronic tools.

“Training students to use next-generation technology like this reductive 3D printer is absolutely critical to develop the STEM workforce of the 21st century,” said Michael Scott, Dean of the Henson School of Science and Technology at Salisbury University. “This donation will immediately allow us to meet that demand.”

The printer will be housed in the university’s Robotics Lab and will be free to students enrolled in robotics courses and all Computer Science students working on a research project. It will also be available to other Salisbury students who only need to pay for materials. Dr. Giulia Franchi, who teaches robotics and supervises the VexU Robotics Club, will also be using the printer for the Vex Competition, the Agriculture Robotics project and research on drones.

“Our mission is to support and advance entrepreneurship in Eastern Maryland, and it starts right here with these university students and their faculty,” said Mike Thielke, executive director of ESEC. “We are excited to see what they are able to produce with this highly sophisticated piece of equipment.”
