YOUNGSTOWN

Applied Systems and Technology Transfer (AST2) have teamed up with the McDonough Museum of Art and Youngstown State University’s Center for Contemporary Art for “Re-shaping Ideas: Ingenuity in 3D Technology,” an art show opening today and on display through Aug. 2.

The exhibition will focus on additive manufacturing and how the technology is transforming industry and empowering individuals to design and create with 3-D printing.

An “Innovation and Creation Space,” hosted by AST2, will be open 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays. Participants will design an object with a computer-aided design program, create a holographic virtual model and produce a prototype of their object using the 3-D printing equipment.
