SPEC Kit 348: Rapid Fabrication/Makerspace Services · 39
Comments N=5
Any paid software would likely be standardized and available on all of our supported computers and lending laptops.
Have campus license agreements with vendors.
I doubt we would charge to use design software.
No charging yet, but some expensive licenses may require buy-in from partners and heavy users.
We only teach free software.

It’s a mix of technical manuals, research on 3-D printing, critical making, and rapid prototyping, and even leisure sci fi on
topics related to 3-D printing.
Not sure at this point, currently have a few ebooks, and some instruction manuals at science library.
Small collection of print materials (e.g., instruction guides) and a number of ebooks
Unknown, I would have to defer to a librarian who would be involved.
We have a small and growing collection of books on micro controllers (e.g., Arduino, Raspberry Pi), 3-D printing and
scanning, soldering.
