Rapid Prototyping Lab - 3D Printing Service in Milwaukee

The RP lab has diminished in quality and consistency over the years. The RP lab director is rarely there even during school months - this is confirmed through frequent visits and conversations with students. Students describe him as an "absent father" - I have only ever seen him there once. The large laser had been broken for months with student workers explaining a lack of guidance from anyone in a leadership position or a sense of urgency to fix it. One student worker explained how he was essentially fixing it alone - these student workers are not full time employees. Theft has been mentioned as a problem in the lab with students qibing about the ease in which merchandise is stolen from the store portion. You can get laser cuts here for relatively cheap - but expect inconsistent service and a wild west lawlessness to how business is conducted. The student workers try their best - the director not so much.

I love the improvements they’ve been making. This place is fantastic.
