Rosie the Riveter is ready for Assembly
Putting together a crowdsourced 3D sculpture takes a lot of participants. So, for its fourth project, We The Buildershas a built-in tagline: “We can do it.”
The effort, which brings together 3D-printer operators to contribute a piece to a sculpture, is now working on a bust of Rosie the Riveter. The participants are asked to print a piece and then mail them to Baltimore.
Getting the project ready to go out to the masses is also a team effort locally.
Baltimore Node member and general maker about town Todd Blatt organizes the effort.
The Rosie the Riveter sculpture was created by Jen Schachter through her work at Digital Harbor Foundation. The Federal Hill tech center is also a key site for assembly of past sculptures. Schachter, currently a Robert W. Deutsch fellow, also teamed with DHF youth to help Adam Savage build the “SXSL” letters for the White House’s tech celebration earlier this week.
