> Michael sez, “The Open 3DP lab at UW has been doing some amazing things with 3D printing. More amazingly, they have prioritized sharing what they are learning with everyone else in order to make 3D printing better.

The folks who run the lab say that the best thing to do is to email Provost Ana Mari Cauce at provost@uw.edu and tell her to let the lab share again. --U Washington’s best-of-breed 3D printing lab shuts down knowledge sharing after administration introduces sweeping patent-grab - Boing Boing
