The rise of affordable, rapid prototyping has created a growing awareness and demand for a workforce that is trained in the techniques of this new technology and for creative designers who can develop innovative products and solutions for a variety of industries and entrepreneurial activities. Studio G3 in the Fine Arts Center has been transformed with state-of-the-art equipment, such as 3D printers, 3D scanners, CNC laser cutter and milling machines, which have been installed along with computers loaded with 3D modeling and design software. Their use has been integrated into some of the art department’s course offerings with an eye toward development of a product and object design concentration.
