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

Now into the third semester, the 3D Lab is a flurry of activity even before the engineering students begin their model rocket projects!\u00a0 We are thankful to the Dean to have five student assistants working in the lab as they are all busy with projects and balancing homework.<\/span><\/p>\n

Morgan is creating Table of Elements window decals for the Chemistry Lab, designing a 3D printed \u201clab jack\u201d, and creating promotional posters for the 3D Lab.\u00a0 Ifrah is also helping us with designing posters that highlight our best accomplishments last semester.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dusty and Nathan are working on projects for the police department, including a bracket to mount bodycams to sunglasses.\u00a0 They are also designing a replacement gear for a paper shredder for a teacher. \u00a0Stay tuned as we reveal the results of these endeavors.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last Friday, Sarah Jane, Morgan, Anthony, and I went to Fairless Middle School to talk about 3D printing and careers in engineering for its annual Career Day.\u00a0 We presented to six classes sessions of students which made for a long but exciting day.\u00a0 Our sessions were so popular that teachers normally on break spent the time in our classroom instead!<\/p>\n

Many thanks to the Romich Foundation for our portable 3D printer which has been shown to many schools, organizations, and businesses.\u00a0 It printed like a champ all day!\u00a0 Thanks, Morgan, Anthony, and Sarah Jane for assisting with the presentation.\u00a0 We had many excited kids, many of whom asked countless questions.\u00a0 This was aided by Sarah Jane passing our candy to those who answering our questions, too.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n

If you know of any organizations, schools, or business who would like to experience 3D printing and how Wayne College can help them, please let me know.\u00a0 We are always willing to make road trips if there is interest and the food is good.<\/span><\/p>\n

We also deeply thank Debbie Muniak who worked with Akron campus to create a portable banner to promote our lab and 3D printing initiative as well as a matching table cloth.\u00a0 These will be used for our offsite presentations.\u00a0 They are beautiful!<\/span><\/p>\n

Before Christmas break, the Romich Foundation generously donated a professional metal shearing machine.\u00a0 This will be used to shape metal and wood plates used in the laser engraver.\u00a0 The model R\/C airplane club will also use the shear to form foam airplane wings and other parts.\u00a0 Lastly, the shear will be used to bend metal, such as making metal project enclosures.\u00a0 We are very thankful for this gift.<\/span><\/p>\n

Printing with plastic isn\u2019t the only method of 3D printing.\u00a0 See how a company is using paper to create multi-color 3D objects.\u00a0 It\u2019s amazing!<\/p>\n
