Proto Build Bar, 534 E. First St. in Dayton, opened in 2014 near Fifth Third Field as a place where people could get creative and build hands-on projects — but with a twist.
Patrons can sip drinks from a coffee bar or from a selection of craft beers and wine while taking part in workshops available in 3D printing, soldering and more.
A menu of snacks, fresh pastries and individual pizzas help keep creativity flowing.
A wall of 3D printers and a selection of filament in rainbow colors is available for visitors to create 3D models from an online selection or a file of your own creation.

Visitors of all ages can take a seat at any of the eight “maker benches” stocked with digital solder stations, laptops and small electronic hand tools to begin the process of making or fixing something.
Staff is on hand to assist novices and experts with creative projects.
