From Our Community

 
Stratasys tour April 2021
A mini throwback this Thursday to April 30, 2021, when the Stratasys mobile showroom paid a visit to campus. Stratasys, a worldwide leader in 3D printing and a long-term partner with the College's Hudson Valley Additive Manufacturing Center, was here to demo the latest in digital design and fabrication (DDF) technologies, and network with students who are preparing for careers in engineering, arts and other DDF-related fields.
And before you ask: Yes, that's a 3D-printed slice of pizza (looks like pepperoni).
