Young students from around the region got a valuable lesson in 3D printing at the National Museum of the United States Air Force thanks to the Wright State University College of Engineering and Computer Science<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Faculty members and students from the college set up and manned a 3D printing display at the museum all day on Jan. 13 as part of Science Discovery and Family Fun Day, which was attended by Gov. Mike DeWine.<\/p>\n

Joy Gockel, assistant professor of mechanical and materials engineering<\/a>, said the display enabled the students to learn the 3D printing process and get creative with it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were really excited to see that new type of technology, be exposed to it,\u201d said Gockel. \u201cIt\u2019s great for the future engineers.\u201d<\/p>\n

DeWine kicked off the event with a speech in support of STEM education.<\/p>\n

The display on the customizability of 3D printing included a computer on which the students used solid modeling design software to change the text on a gear. The students, ranging in age from 8 to 13, put their names, a phrase or favorite animal on the gear model, which was then moved over to the printing software and the printer.<\/p>\n

It took about 15 minutes to print each gear. About 20 gears were printed, including some by a few adults.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really a change in paradigm in how you build things,\u201d said Gockel. \u201cYou can design with customization, with complexity in your design, and you couldn\u2019t do that before.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event also featured a display from the Wright State College of Science and Mathematics<\/a> as well as demonstrations and activities from The Ohio State University, Youngstown State, Clark State and Sinclair Community College.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
