“The Class of 1912 presented a sculpture of the polar bear to the College in 1937. It is a life size granite statue designed by Frederic George Richard Roth. The figure stands in front of the entrance to Sargent Gymnasium, and has for many years symbolized Bowdoin College to alumni and to the public .”
Worked with Professor Emily Peterman to help her with some parts for Stream Tables for an upcoming course. We love collaborating with faculty around their teaching.

Professor Shakespear is teaching a really interesting course in the spring called Armature and Surface: The Body (VART 2603). You should take it!

We are helping her out with a small version, to get things started…
And look how it turned out!

Print of a wood box using PLA that has wood fibers in it – so it looks pretty much like wood. Lots of interesting materials are available these days!
We are working on an interesting project, partnering with the Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museum. We 3D scanned, and are now reproducing, a model sled for them at a slightly smaller scale than the original.
