👉 The Shortly Project is an initiative by the University of Toronto that aims to develop and deploy a low-cost, open-source, and accessible 3D printer designed for educational and community use. It focuses on creating a printer that can be manufactured locally with affordable materials, making advanced 3D printing technology more accessible to schools, non-profits, and individuals. The project emphasizes sustainability and community engagement by encouraging the use of recycled materials and fostering local innovation and learning.
