Future engineers hard at work! 🎢 Brinkmann recently had the pleasure of hosting middle school students from Missouri University of Science and Technology Amusement Park Design Camp at the Oasis at Lake of the Ozarks Amusement Park construction site. Guided by our very own project manager and Missouri S&T alum, Lori Badalamenti, the students got a firsthand look at the intricate world of amusement park construction. They learned about the engineer's role and saw the principles of magnetic forces, physics, 3D printing, CAD, and hands-on modeling come to life! This real-world boots-on-the-ground experience is just one of the many ways we are committed to fostering lifelong learning and inspiring the next generation of innovators. #InsightBeyondMeasure #LifelongLearning #FutureEngineers #Construction

We are proud to share the project of a 4-degree-of-freedom SCARA robot, built by myself and Daniel Viani for the Robot Mechanics exam under the guidance of Professor Alessandro Tasora. From CAD design to Arduino programming to physical realization through 3D printing and subsequent assembly, this project has been one of the most rewarding and educational experiences throughout our five years of study. It demonstrates the entire process of designing a system from start to finish. The robot was constructed using recycled components such as motors and linear guides salvaged from a 3D printer. The remaining structural parts were 3D printed and assembled along with belts and pulleys. Four stepper motors and a servo motor were utilized, the latter for gripper closure. In conclusion, this project exemplifies the culmination of theoretical knowledge and practical skills acquired during our academic journey. It not only showcases our ability to innovate and problem-solve but also underscores the importance of sustainability through the reuse of materials. We are grateful for the opportunity to have worked on such a project and look forward to applying the lessons learned to future endeavors in robotics and beyond. P.S.: LinkedIn doesn’t allow to post both pics and videos so I’ll post the CAD rendering in the comments. Università degli studi di Parma #UniPR #IndustrialAutomation #UniProjects #MechEng

Do you know the Stewart platform? I mean the exact novel design idea that was proposed by D. Stewart, not the Gough-Whitehall platform that many people wrongly name the Stewart platform. In reality, in his review of platforms to be implemented for motion platforms in flight simulators, he actually mentions that the Gough platform could be used but he has designed a novel platform with six degrees-of-freedom on a tripod so for each kinematics chain, we find two linear actuators to achieve motion and simplify kinematics. So far, up to our knowledge, the Stewart platform has never been made but we have remedied to this by making a first model prototype as a proof-of-concept for a mobile platform to provide mobility to training based on Virtual Reality. I have supervised Lewis Sherman, one of our CAD engineering students on his honours degree project. He has also examined how to make low-cost linear actuators from 3D printing and proposed a concept that is working very well with a reversible machine screw. This project total budget did not exceed 100 pounds. Reference: Stewart, D. (1965–1966). "A Platform with Six Degrees of Freedom". Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. 180 (1, No 15): 371–386. doi:10.1243/pime_proc_1965_180_029_02

As a dedicated naval architecture student, I'm immersing myself in the dynamic world of 3D printing for my upcoming thesis, exploring its potential impact on ship construction. The maritime industry is at the forefront of transformative technologies, and I'm excited to uncover the possibilities that 3D printing brings to ship design and manufacturing. From redefining hull shapes to experimenting with novel materials, I'm on a mission to unravel the complexities and opportunities in this emerging field. I'm keen to connect with professionals and experts in naval architecture, 3D printing, and the broader maritime sector. If you have valuable insights, experiences, or suggestions, I invite you to share your knowledge! Here's a question to spark a discussion: How do you envision 3D printing shaping the future of naval architecture, and what challenges do you foresee in its widespread adoption in the maritime industry? Feel free to drop your thoughts in the comments or connect for a more in-depth conversation. #NavalArchitecture #3DPrinting

👏 A big thank you to Hyunyoung Kim from University of Birmingham for coming to our Lab Talk to talk to us about the future of digital fabrication tools. Mixing physicality with digital. She talked about the potential of #digitalfabrication to empower anyone to create physical, functional objects that can tackle their unique challenge. And introduced us to KnobSlider, a shape-changing interface that cleverly combines the benefits of knobs, sliders, graphical user interfaces, and tangible user interfaces. As well as MorpheesPlug, a powerful toolkit for the parametric design and 3D printing of shape-changing widgets, and AirLogic, a revolutionary 3D-printed logic gate system that can serve as the "brain" of shape-changing interfaces, potentially replacing electronics and programming. #making #tangible #electronics #design #programming #HumanComputerInteraction

National Board Certified (Career and Technical Education) Project Lead the Way Instructor in the Rockwood School District
Enjoying seeing solutions to our Project Lead The Way Introduction To Engineering Design sweet improvement project. Ss design two interfacing parts in Autodesk Fusion 360 then exported three different iterations to be 3d printed with UltiMaker 3d printers. Between each iteration Ss used dial calipers to check for precision and accuracy of dimensions and created tolerances from those dimensions. The third and final iteration had to hold 4 starburst candies, the parts had to interface and lock and the candies couldn't shake. Project based learning provides real world academic applications of STEM principles in an organized step by step process.

We encourage rapid prototyping: making use of 3D printing, PCB machining and CNC technology, to quickly test out concepts in our laboratories. But the world is complex, verifying a hypothesis is not always straight forward, and experiments can become time consuming to setup. Fail fast... but what did we learn? Yesterday afternoon I gave a lecture for the MSc and PhD students in our "Power Electronics Packaging, Materials and Emerging Applications" research group, on how to use ANSYS Q3D Extractor as a tool to evaluate and analyze their ideas on a digital platform, to quickly make iterations and gain insights to their electrical designs digitally using 3D finite element analysis, before testing them out. To reach their goals before deadline, it is important to neither spend too long getting stuck in simulations nor fight with experimental prototypes that don't work. Thanks to everyone who attended.
