<\/a><\/p>\nMark describes the situation better than I can:<\/p>\n
\u201cI looked up on the Internet for a replacement part and the part was no longer available. Attempting to try to use the shelf without the cross bracket resulted in many avalanches of freezer items even with a warning sign to “Open Slowly”. So being able to 3D print a new shelf bracket has saved our precious jelly from falling off the shelf and hitting the floor. Thanks again for helping me print it out.\u201d<\/p>\n
Below you will see the original shelf bracket brace (beige) and the 3D printed brace (black) that he designed.\u00a0 The replacement bracket now attaches perfectly and no more wasted jelly.\u00a0 Way to go, Mark!<\/p>\n
The vinyl cutter (provided by the Orrville Area Boys and Girls Club) receives regular use by all sorts of people.\u00a0 It is a wonderful entry-level tool for using the 3D Lab; one can draw or trace designs in 2D which are instantly cut into vinyl.<\/p>\n Earlier last semester, Morgan reproduced the 3D Lab\u2019s UAWC3 logo with the vinyl cutter\u2019s vector software.\u00a0 She used the software\u2019s \u201ctrace\u201d command to draw outlines around the logo\u2019s lettering, as the logo was in a bitmap format (not suitable for vinyl cutting).\u00a0 She then added a byline using the vector software\u2019s text tool.\u00a0 The result is beautiful, a multi-color vinyl design which now hangs above our door.<\/p>\n A couple of weeks ago, the Wayne County Public Library invited Wayne College to offer an introductory session on 3D printing.\u00a0 Well over 50 people of all ages attended that evening.\u00a0 We talked about how 3D printing works, how it affects our everyday lives, promoted careers in engineering, and how the future may be shaped by this technology.\u00a0 As usual, the presentation was a big hit among kids and adults alike with lots of questions.<\/p>\n Barry Romich was also present to introduce the possibility of a makerspace to be created in downtown Wooster.\u00a0 If you are interested in this endeavor, please reply to this e-mail to request more information.<\/p>\n Answering questions<\/p>\n Barry talking about a possible Wooster makerspace<\/p>\n A wonderful turn-out<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Did you know that 3D printers can be used to make metal jewelry using casting?\u00a0 See how our resin printer can do just that:<\/p>\n http:\/\/formlabs.com\/industries\/design\/sarah-graham-jewelry<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3D printers aren\u2019t limited to solid materials.\u00a0 See how this fabric 3D printer is the first of its kind:<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/electroloom\/electroloom-the-worlds-first-3d-fabric-printer<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Stay tuned as the semester\u2019s activities start to unfold in the 3D Lab next week!<\/p>\n Tom<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello everyone, The first day of the fall semester begins with a bang in the 3D Lab.\u00a0 Students already have all three printers running simultaneously, visitors are given tours of the room, and the R\/C airplane club is slowly taking over every inch of free space with their designs.\u00a0 We are interested to see what engineering students and community members will create this semester.\u00a0 It\u2019s always exciting to see non-engineers become interested in the technology as well; they are becoming makers!
