Join program coordinator Jeff Erickson and instructor Kiele Lee as they share their experiences and the profound impact of using cutting-edge technology in their classrooms.
A team of reasearchers at the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) constructed the glider of ABS plastic, comprised of only nine unique parts, each of which was 3D printed using fused deposition modeling (FDM) technology on the Stratasys Fortus 900 mc machine. This production process was deemed superior to stereo lithography or selective laser sintering because FDM allows for lower...
FANUC offers two Certified Education training programs for high school, trade school and college students.
Rather than being a replacement for employees, this machined parts supplier says robotic automation has led to a doubling of the size of its staff.
The MINDS-i competition program is designed to develop skills in problem solving, mechanical engineering, electronics engineering and programming. Kids and instructors participated to find new levels of passion and enthusiasm for robotics and technology based careers.
Arc welding processes require good workmanship to produce sound welds. Poor technique such as an overly long distance between the electrode and the work piece (arc length) can make the difference between a smooth, strong weld and a defective one that is prone to failure. Learning the skill requires time, patience, and significant amounts of materials.
This is the only 3D printer of its kind in the world able to create complex assemblies made of moving parts - each of which is printed in a different material.
The Senior Engineering Design Team at Prairie View A&M University designed a Hub-Less Wheel utilizing 3D Printed parts provided by Tech-Labs. 3D printing enables students to rapidly prototype new designs allowing them to quickly assemble and test their new ideas.
If you want to get students excited about new technologies like 3D printing, you have to let them follow their passion — even if that passion is ketchup!
High school seniors Tyler Richards and Jonathan Thompson have spent a lot of time thinking about ketchup.
Even before transportation designers join the world's leading automotive companies, as students they're already leveraging 3D printing to test their innovative concepts.
