Purdue University (Purdue University) is a world-renowned institution of higher learning, a first-class national university in the United States, with strong engineering strength, and its engineering school is among the top ranks in the world.
In order to promote the development of engineering technology and science, Purdue University established the Bechtel Innovation Design Center, which is an advanced prototype equipment and manufacturing center founded by students for students. David McMillin, the deputy director of the center, said, “Here, students can make whatever they want.”
There are approximately 400,000 students at Bechtel Creative Design Center, which allows students to use3D printingThe machine prints all kinds of parts, from electric skateboards to electric racing cars.And the existing equipment technology is free for all students, students can use 203D printingMachines, including 2 Markforged Metal X and 2 Mark two, as well as other traditional manufacturing equipment, such as CNC milling machines, CNC lathes and a complete woodworking workshop. The concept of the center is to allow students to personally participate in, try to create hands-on, so that the product can complete the realization of the product from the conceptual level to the actual component.
David McMillin said: “3D printingIt is indeed a good way to reduce costs and risks and attract more people to use3D printingProceed to manufacturing. “The center has more than 20 student tutors who can help everyone who wants to use them in projects3D printingTechnical students.Among the many devices, the students’ favorite is the continuous carbon fiber filling of Mark Two3D printingmachine.
“Compared with traditional manufacturing, Mark Two’s resolution, fit and finish are very good. The finished product it prints is very strong and very beautiful.”
The students also discovered the various uses of the Metal X metal printer. Currently, the materials that can be printed are 17-4 stainless steel and H13 tool steel. Metal X metal printers have been used to print race car joint brackets, which are used to fix the role of rod ends in race cars.
“It is obvious that the industry is vigorously developing mature metals3D printingTechnology, everyone is very interested in this aspect. Our students, professors, universities and the world all want to see this technology. “Nowadays, as a high-quality educational resource and a new form of educational informatization,3D printingIt has been widely used in the teaching and practice of primary and secondary schools and higher education. It will create a new teaching model for the education industry and lead the development trend of future education.3D printingThe combination with education and teaching is a combination of books and practice in the true sense, and it is a manifestation of the development of students’ creativity, practical ability, and exercise of knowledge application ability.
In the future, Markforged 3D printingTechnology will continue to make more efforts to promote the development of the education industry, actively respond to the new model of innovative education, and promote the development and progress of scientific research.
Comment: Now, many universities have begun to increase learning for students3D printingTechnical opportunities to understand the most suitable3D printingManufacturing process. From concept to design to production,3D printingIt provides a lot of convenience in the necessary steps of manufacturing functional parts. Markforged 3D printingThe technology is easy to understand, the material strength is high, and the operation is safe.Therefore, it has become the first choice of many colleges and universities3D printingequipment.
