🔧🏎️ From concept to custom build! MADE member Michael is building his own realistic driving simulator from the ground up! Here, he’s crafting the steering wheel using a mix of 3D printing, sheet metal fabrication, and precision-cut components.

From the grip to the gearbox, every detail is being designed and fabricated by hand as he works toward the final product. We can’t wait to see this simulator in action!

Rufus was a good boy at Camporee 250 this weekend! 🐾🤖

Local Boy Scouts got the chance to meet our robot dog, learn a little about the technology behind him and snap some photos along the way. We think it’s safe to say Rufus stole the show!

💙 MADE is all about creating meaningful solutions, one project at a time!

One of our members, Jeff, wanted a simple way to keep track of the six laps he walks each day with his father around the nursing home - so he made one. Using our CNC router along with traditional woodworking techniques, he created a custom lap counter clicker - to fit his father's cane - that will make their daily walks a little easier.

This is an amazing opportunity and a huge investment in our community's future workforce in advanced manufacturing!

From aerospace and automotive to wind energy and sports equipment, advanced composites are shaping the modern world. These lightweight, high-strength materials are replacing traditional metals in industries that demand performance, durability and innovation.

We loved watching this project come together! Great job, everyone!

💚 Our Entrepreneurship class didn’t just start a business - they made a difference! Through their company Design Driven students created custom license plate covers in our MADE at Westmoreland makerspace, sold them, and proudly donated $435 in profits to Westmoreland Walks, Inc. The check was presented last week at the Greensburg Night Market.

💚 Meet Laurel! Jewelry making has always been her main craft - but she wanted to learn it all. From welding to 3D design, she’s taken every certification class we offer! With her latest embroidery class, she officially completed them all. That’s the kind of maker spirit we love to see!
