This innovation lab, which is a resource for the entire Montclair State community, will continue our overall goal of blurring the line where the campus ends and the entrepreneurial community begins.<\/p>\n<p>In summer 2017, we added a dozen new printers to MIX Lab.<\/p>\n<p>The MIX Lab is a resource for the entire university. The 48 3D printing devices are used by all types of Montclair State students, but especially those pursuing our 9-credit Certificate in Innovation Design and Digitally Mediated Making. MIX Lab also offers rapid prototyping services to the region&#8217;s small and midsized manufacturing companies. We also partner with local high schools on 3D printing and innovation design programs.<\/p>\n<p>The MIX Lab is a catalytic agent for creativity, design and rapid prototyping to incubate powerful real world outcomes across the campus and deep into the world at large.<\/p>\n<p>Check out this <a href=\"http:\/\/wiredjersey.com\/making-and-innovating-for-the-unknown-msu-3d-printing\/\">Wired Jersey video<\/a> about MIX Lab.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The MIX Lab website is our new interdisciplinary hub for transformative innovation, and digitally mediated making.
