Students from DSST: Montview High School did their 6 weeks internship at CU Denver. Dr. Dong teach them the fundamentals of Additive Manufacturing. They get the chance to learn the implicit modeling software nTop, and they have the opportunity working in the AM lab to 3D printing their design

Participants: Riya Mahesh, Juan Hinkson, Tiernan Pian, Kevin Rodriguez, Leonardo Orenday, Yafet Michael

DSST Instructor: Ms. Jamie Villa and MS. Lisa Atufunwa

This Additive Manufacturing Workshop was held by the Dean of College of Engineering, Design and Computing, Dr. Marty Dunn, and Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Dr. Guoying Dong as part of the OEDIT sponsored project: Auraria Campus Advanced Manufacturing Center of Excellence. More than 15 industy people were participated in this training.

Presenters include: Nicholas Jacobson, Kristin Wood, Richard Weir, Guoying Dong, Noah Mostow from Phase 3D, and Alex Janzen from Seurat Technologies

Students had a successful semester in MECH 3045 Additive Manufacturing at CU Denver. They were very very excited about learning nTop design and metal 3D printing. All the teams excelled in the Topology Optimization Competition. Students can hands-on the mechanical tester by groups and test their structure in-person. To get all the students involved during the testing, there is a live show of the experiment during the competition.

Field-driven design, lattice structure, and FEA analysis skills enable our students designing mechanical parts with excellent mechanical properties. Furthermore, they all loved the Metal Additive Manufacturing Workshop and got a chance to process the metal 3d printing.
