Montclair, NJ - Montclair State University has partnered with MakerBot® to open a MakerBot® Innovation Center at MSU's Feliciano School of Business. The center, located in Montclair State’s new $66 million Feliciano School of Business building, houses 35 state-of-the-art 3D design and printing devices with cloud connectivity. The facility is the first of its kind in New Jersey, the only one in the New York City area, and only the ninth such center in the world. Montclair State also is the only university in the nation to have a MakerBot® Innovation Center physically located within a school of business.
“We are excited to open the first Makerbot® Innovation Center within a business school,” said Greg Cant, dean of Montclair State’s Feliciano School of Business. “3D printing is revolutionizing every industry in every sector around the globe, and it is imperative for tomorrow’s successful leaders and visionaries to be proficient in groundbreaking innovation and technology.”
