Facts and figures from the first few weeks of operation

Posted October 31, 2017October 31, 2017 Matthew Swabey
  • 132 projects registered, 35 completed.
  • 223 students have completed the safety training to date.

Machining continues to be popular, particularly the Waterjet cutter and the mills and lathes.

3D Printing (https://www.purdue.edu/bidc/start/3d-printing/) and lasercutting (https://www.purdue.edu/bidc/start/laser-cutting-and-engraving/) is another area where we are seeing a lot of projects!
