Maybe we haven’t been able to convince you to come to the Maker Hub and make something new, but how about customizing an object you already have?

The Maker Hub’s Trotec Speedy 300 and 400 laser cutters can be used to engrave and cut materials based on specified images and shapes. This is useful for making enclosures out of acrylic, engraving designs into many materials, creating trophies, and cutting any two-dimensional shape out of a variety of materials. It also has a rotary attachment which enables cylindrical objects such as drinking glasses and hydro flasks to be engraved with detailed designs.

The Speedy 400 uses the same software and general setup as the Speedy 300, however it has a larger bed. Check out this video to see how it works. For more information, check out the Maker Hub’s Wiki page for the laser cutters.

The Maker Hub exists as a resource and creative outlet for the entire George Fox community (yes, including non-engineers!). We are looking for student aces. A student ace is simply an expert on a piece of equipment who helps train other students on the usage of that equipment and gains extra privileges within the Maker Hub.

Please email makerhub@georgefox.edu if you would like to get connected or have any questions.

In collaboration with IT, Plant Services is pleased to announce a new process for the key request form.

The new electronic key request form is found in the my.georgefox site on the employee home page under the new box labeled “eForms.” The key request form allows you to request a key for yourself or for an incoming employee.

The key request will be electronically sent to the supervisor and each area’s building monitor for approval. When all approvals have been obtained electronically, the request is sent to the plant services locksmith for processing. The best news? This process is live!

The plant services web pages will soon be updated to include the link to this process instead of the paper form. Contact Plant Services at ext. 2010 if you have any questions.
