We're in the news! Thank you to WCAX for stopping by our lab. The work we do in the Castleton Innovation Lab is part of VTSU's 3D Technology program, with courses across the university. Also, make sure you check out our 3D Technology Summer Institute - https://vermontstate.edu/3d-technology-summer-institute/ - Vermont students can attend for up to 6 weeks and get academic credits with their costs covered by a state scholarship. This year, we are also accepting out-of-state students for the first time.

VTSU students across disciplines are building their futures with hands-on learning in 3D printing.
