A Jetrix KX3 has become the hub of Robert Gordon University’s community printing project, Make Aberdeen, adding to the facility’s scanning, printing and prototyping technology.
The project, supported by Aberdeen City Council, Creative Scotland and the UK Government Super Connected Cities programme aims to create a studio that will make design and making accessible for students and members of the public.
‘We were keen to break down any community barriers and offer this environment to a far wider audience,’ explained Phil Chaplain, chief technological officer at Robert Gordon University. ‘Make Aberdeen offers us an opportunity to collaborate with private individuals, north-east businesses and organisations that have a great idea or small business they want to develop.’
‘We are particularly proud of this project,’ commented Ben Woodruff, head of national sales at InkTec. ‘It has a local community spirit about encouraging innovation and being able to explore ideas, while also potentially encouraging more people into the printing sector. It is also one of our first printers to be installed in an educational establishment.’
