\nMadison’s Steam Century<\/a> used Sector67 to create the murder mystery props for Geek.Kon<\/a>:

\nSometimes Makerbot repair requires two hands and a couple Coronas to get anywhere. . .
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nAt Sector67 we take safety very seriously. In the event of pencil lead breakage, all bystanders need to be wearing proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):

\nMore Makerbot repair, this time a first generation Makerbot has finally let the ghost out of the power supply after over a year of solid operation (Less Coronas, more hands, also a valid strategy):

\n\"\"<\/a>
\nIf you’ve ever wondered what it takes to drive a high power ultrasonic transducer, it’s not much:
