The largest MakerBot Innovation Center to date is installed at College of the Ouachitas in Malvern, Arkansas. College of the Ouachitas has 47 MakerBot® Replicator® 2 Desktop 3D Printers, six MakerBot Replicator 2X Experimental 3D Printers, and six MakerBot® Digitizer™ Desktop 3D Scanners. The main purpose of the MakerBot Innovation Center at College of the Ouachitas is to work with regional business and industry in the plastic engineering sector in support of the College’s existing Mechatronics and emerging entrepreneurial programs. The Center is an outgrowth of the College’s new Project Lead the Way pre-engineering program, enhancing the College’s strong K12 partnerships. 3D printing will be integrated into the College’s academic curriculum as a natural extension of Project Lead the Way. College of the Ouachitas will also be working in collaboration with MakerBot to offer a desktop 3D printing certificate of training. One of the first large-scale 3D printing assignments the College is exploring is with the Robohand Project to print mechanical prosthetic hands to benefit those who have suffered amputations or were born with amniotic band syndrome.

“Having the largest MakerBot Innovation Center in the world at College of the Ouachitas is another of a series of advanced manufacturing innovations the College has brought to Arkansas and the Southeast region of the country and helps position our campus as a leader in technology,” noted Dr. Stephen Schoonmaker, president of College of the Ouachitas. “We are committed to using the Innovation Center to help change how our community sees and uses technology. By giving our public, students, and regional businesses the tools they need to innovate and create, we will help bring our graduates and our state to the forefront of potential jobs and careers in technology.”

Mark Schulze, vice president of sales for MakerBot notes, “proving a local solutions-based MakerBot Innovation Center on-site for businesses and academic institutions is a great way to bring innovation right into the hand of those that need it most. Rapid prototyping, model making, project development, design, small scale manufacturing, and even using 3D printing as a source of entertainment, is growing more every day. These Innovation Centers will help expose 3D printing to even more that can benefit from its ease-of-use technology and cost saving potential.”

The MakerBot Innovation Centers will be built in conjunction with MakerBot guidance and training for university and business staff. Months of work have gone into creating these Innovation Centers and MakerBot is excited to see what come out of them in the months and years to come.
