The “Keter Plastic” Sami Sagol Center for Digital Modeling

The Sami Sagol Center for Digital Modeling is a resource of knowledge and education in digital modeling and production.

The Center advances and integrates theoretical and practical implications of this field across departments. The goal is to promote and encourage advanced technology use for topological research processes, materials research and model production.

The Center offers advice, guidance, a variety of lectures and tutorials on topics related to digital modeling and 3D printing, support for printers across departments, 3D printing using a variety of technologies and materials, laser cutting and 3D scanning.
