On select days this week, students can use high-pressure water to cut a personalized nameplate in the DI Hub Reactor's Waterjet Cutter Shop to create a personalized nameplate.
"Intro to Waterjet: Make a Nameplate" is a workshop in which participants will learn basic file design and see the waterjet cutter in action when they cut a personalized steel nameplate. There is material fee (at cost) of $3.
