After a complete renovation, the HS/HSL Innovation Space is now open! The Innovation Space has expanded to encompass the adjoining area where the Reference Desk used to be. This expansion gives users twice as much room for working with Innovation Space tools and equipment.

To accommodate 3D scanning of smaller items, we’ve added a NextEngine 3D scanner. Now you can use the handheld Sense 3D scanner to scan large objects and the NextEngine 3D scanner for small items, such as a piece of lab equipment or a tooth. Curious how? Our how-to guides will walk you through the steps with the Sense 3D scanner and the new NextEngine 3D scanner.

We have also added three height-adjustable work tables and a dozen stools to make the Innovation Space more comfortable for your work. Many more 3D-printed models are displayed on the shelves. You can also find the finishing tools for 3D printing in pouches conveniently placed on the wall. We have transformed the wall into a chalkboard to promote upcoming workshops on 3D printing and 3D scanning. The large LCD screen, which is perfect for reviewing human anatomy with Biodigital Humanor viewing large 3D models from the NIH 3D Print Exchange, is now mounted on the wall, along with two wall cabinets.

Come visit our new and improved Innovation Space!
