Since our prototyping lab will not be accessible for the remainder of the Fall semester, we have been creating digital resources to help enrich our user’s prototyping skills, including a prototyping services request system and interactive tutorials. Check them out below.
Request Prototyping Services
Query by Inworks is meant to fill the gap of our in-person prototyping lab so our users can interact with us remotely. We are currently offering three services through Query:
- An orientation is meant to develop users’ skills in design software or introduce them to foundational prototyping technologies.
- Consults offer a one-on-one with one of our experienced prototyping staff to address technical challenges or brainstorm a fresh perspective.
- Prototyping services involve our staff 3D printing or laser cutting users’ designs.
Please fill out the following quick survey and Inworks staff will get back to you quickly regarding your request.
Electronics Basics
Check out the following tutorials on different aspects of electronics, including soldering, an Introduction to Arduino, and learning the software to make your own Personal Circuit Boards (PCBs).
Woodworking Crash Course
Check out the following downloadable workshops to learn all there is to know about the woodworking tools we utilize at Inworks. Woodworking is an understated art in an age of 3D printing and is more accessible than you might think. Consider the fact one can buy all of the woodworking equipment featured below for the same price as a Prusa 3D printer.
General Resources for Students
Our student assistants thoughtfully compiled a list of resources that they thought would be useful for our users during this time. Please check out the following to see if you, friends, or family would benefit from these resources.
