We 3D-Printed Full-Size Liberty Bell for America 250 Celebration in Erie, PA | Gannon MakerSpace

At the Gannon MakerSpace, we recently took on a project we are especially proud of. A full-size Liberty Bell, 3D printed right here in our lab. The bell was created to celebrate America 250, and it came together in six separate printed pieces, plus two more parts for the yoke that holds it up. Once every piece was printed and assembled, our team primed the bell and hand painted it coat by coat, right down to the famous cracks.

A project like this is a perfect example of what MakerSpace is all about. Someone had an idea, and we had the tools, the space, and the know how to turn that idea into something real you can stand next to and touch. That is exactly what we love to do, and it is not just for big commemorative projects. It is for anyone in our community with an idea worth building.

Whether you are a local business, an organization, or an individual with a concept in mind, MakerSpace is here to help you bring it to life. Here is some of what we can help with:

• Rapid Prototyping and 3D Printing

• Precision and Custom Fabrication

• Volume Manufacturing

• Design and Manufacturing Consultation

• Branded and Custom Merchandise

• Assembly, Finishing, and Post-Processing

From a single prototype to a full production run, our team can guide your project from the first sketch all the way to the finished product. We work with startups testing a new idea, local businesses that need custom parts, community groups turning a vision into something real, and individual makers who just want to create something they are proud of.

At MakerSpace, we are committed to being more than just a lab. We are a space where the Erie community can access professional tools, expert guidance, and a place to build.

The Liberty Bell is one story, but there are so many more waiting to be made. If you have an idea you want to bring to life, we would love to help you make it real.
