This week’s 3D Hubs events reveal that people are getting more and more creative about event locations. The week kicks off in Graz, Austria with the Community’s regularly scheduled meetup at Makerspace Graz. In Den Bosch, the Netherlands, people will gather to focus specifically on 3D design and drawing, and in Eindhoven people interested in 3D printing will visit the G3nesis-3D company and check out the Zortrax 3D printers and the Fuel3D scanner on-site. 3D Drinks Calgary is meeting at a sports bar, where people will also be able to display their 3D printers and projects, and the last event of the week is in Charlotte, North Carolina at a historic gold mine! If you live in or near these locations, you can find out more about events below.
3D Druck Community Treffen Graz | Graz, Austria
This week’s 3D Hubs events kicks off with another meetup for the Graz Community held on January 19th from 6:00-9:00 PM at Makerspace Graz. According to the Community Mayor, Thomas, this event happens every third Tuesday of the month and it will address internal issues for the group, such as planning group excursions, working on themes, and creating a Wiki for the group to use.

On Wednesday, January 20th from 7:00-9:30 PM, join Community Mayor Frank for a gathering that will focus specifically on 3D design and drawing. This will include a review of design programs, so participants are asked to bring their laptops, and you can also plan ahead to bring your own 3D printer. Louis van den Heuvel will be on hand to talk about the development of the FabLab, and this will also be an opportunity to toast in the New Year!
3D Hubs Meetup | Eindhoven, The Netherlands
This meetup, which is scheduled for the third Thursday of each month, will involve a visit to the G3nesis-3D company on January 21st from 7:00-10:00 PM.
