HOW IT ALL BEGAN:

It was a dark and stormy night.

Actually it was pretty windy. On a January morning, I stood over a large black 3D printer. Staring down at a silver dial nested in the black frame, I paused, took a breath, and pressed print. A long beep sounded followed by the blowing of a fan and a whining of warming-up gears, two hours and thirty minutes later, I held in my hand a small 3D printed table, no bigger than an eraser. Since that time, I have worked to provide the TTUHSC community with relevant pathways for 3D printing in healthcare, because it is not enough to just let students know that 3D printers exist. Students need a platform from which to generate and build relevant ideas and practices in healthcare.
