Description
Attendees to this hands-on workshop will receive an overview of Open Access resources as they pertain to makerspaces and digital fabrication, with a demonstration of how a free-to-use and simple 3D modeling platform can enable anyone to customize parts to suit their specific needs.
We will have a set of pre-printed and assembled presses, including examples of presses that we have digitally customized to serve different purposes. Participants will be taught the basics of how to ink and make their own commemorative keepsake print celebrating OA Week 2021!
