When a Professor wanted to explore an object in the art museum with their course, but the students could not touch it (for obvious reasons – it is really old!) The Bowdoin Maker Space came to the rescue by creating a 3D scan of the object and then printing it in resin (SLA)  and in PLA.  So the students visited the Bowdoin College Museum of Art to view the original object under the watchful eye of the curator, and then were able to get a sense of the tactile object by interacting with the facsimiles that we created.
