Our first interest hour is going to be Friday May 31, 4pm-6pm, for all our 3D printing enthusiasts. So, whether you have questions about CAD, the difference between PLA and ABS or the future of the industry or you want to talk about any projects you are working on around 3D printing, come, hang out, grab a cup of Shush coffee down in the lobby, and meet some people.

The Chattanooga Public Library is hosting our city's first Input Incubator as part of the newly launched regional planning initiative, Thrive 2055. This proactive three-state three-year program pulls together leaders in business, government and neighborhoods from the surrounding 16 counties in Northwest Georgia, Northeast Alabama and Southeast Tennessee.

If you have always wondered how ideas get started before the big picture plans are formulated this public process will not only show you but will ask you to be in the think tank on the front end.
