Hello everyone,<\/p>\n

Yesterday\u2019s objects for The Wilburt Company printed perfectly.\u00a0 Please stop-by A-120 if you would like to see them.\u00a0 These objects were designed in the Creo CAD program and meant to be produced on an expensive CNC metal machine.\u00a0 Printing a prototype part on that machine could cost up to $200, but on a 3D printer it cost about 50 cents!<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s object is a Klein bottle, an example of a non-orientable surface; informally, it is a surface (a two-dimensional manifold) in which notions of left and right cannot be consistently defined. \u00a0A Klein bottle has no boundary (for comparison, a sphere is an orientable surface with no boundary) (Wikipedia.org).<\/p>\n

This object is being printed for one of our math instructors.\u00a0 It is a challenging piece because the base is not flat; the printer must start with a curved base and build widening layers as it works its way up.\u00a0 Come see how the printer is doing!<\/p>\n
