Parish library holds 3D printing workshop

The main branch of the Evangeline Parish Library held a free 3D Printing workshop on Monday, September 28. Presenting the workshop were Jonathan Shirley and Kevin Guillory from the Louisiana Entrepreneurship and Economic Development Center’s REDII Works FabLab on the campus of the University of Louisiana-Lafayette. The purpose of the workshop was to show participants the benefits of using 3D printing as a way of growing a small business.
