Hello everyone,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rain has (mostly) subsided since the start of summer\nlast week.  The sunny heat almost hits like a wall when leaving the\nbuilding.  For a cool place to work on your projects (pun intended), come\nvisit the 3D Lab!  We\u2019ve had a steady stream of visitors each day since\nthe end of semester, so we\u2019re happy to help make your ideas possible, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are particularly pleased with a recent visit by members\nof the Apple Creek Historical Society.  Their intention is to create a\nmakerspace for the community to use, along with providing a variety of programs\non projects that can be made.  They are collecting a variety of\nwoodworking equipment and tools as donations, both financial and\/or equipment,\nbecome available.  Just recently their vision has expanded to include a\nlaser cutter, CNC router, and providing instruction on how to make a 3D\nprinter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ACHS hopes to get the program put together and on its feet\nby Fall.  If you wish to know more, please contact Gary Rogers,\n330-201-1745 (call or text).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vinyl cutter in the 3D Lab is a popular machine by\nmany.  It is a 2D machine, meaning that designs are flat, created with\nsimple text and graphics.  Both are converted to \u201cvector\u201d format, which\nare curves and lines that a blade follows to cut your design in vinyl. \nVinyl cutters are great for decals and custom stickers, but even more useful\nfor clothing!  Heat transfer vinyl can be pressed into cloth using a heat\npress, which the 3D Lab also has.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this spring, students and teachers made custom\nt-shirts using a vinyl cutter with amazing success.  Karen Sieffert made\nher own tie-dye shirts for a church summer camp, then heat pressed vinyl\nlettering and graphics in white vinyl on top.  The result is quite\nbeautiful.  Karen made a lot of these shirts and is an expert vinyl\ncutter now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This past Spring semester, engineering students in the\nDynamics class built and flew model rockets, many of which were 3D printed in\nour lab.  Mark Schworm designed a complex rocket that had wings embedded\nin the rocket, popping out to allow the rocket to \u201cfloat\u201d back down to\nEarth!  The first launch of Mark\u2019s rocket didn\u2019t go so well, but the\nsecond attempt was stellar!  His design worked perfectly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other students built rockets with custom fins and nosecones,\neach going through mathematical studies to determine proper center-of-pressure,\ncenter-of-gravity, and wind tunnel measurements.  All of the rockets flew\nwell this semester because of this preplanning.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 3D Lab is open over the summer, so feel free to stop\nin!  Our hours of operation are posted here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay tuned next week as we introduce interesting folks who\nparticipated in this year\u2019s Maker Faire!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
