January 18 Meeting Summary

Hello everyone, welcome to CSM Engineering Club Spring 2013!

If you didn't have the chance to attend the meeting on Friday, January 18, you can come by 19-042 on Tuesday, January 22, at 1:00 pm.

The co-presidents of this semester are Chris and Justin.  More officers will be elected at a later date.

For this semester, we plan to purchase a MakerBot 3D printer at a discounted price, which will arrive around mid-February (please see picture below).



A 3D printer uses a digital model made within a computer-aided design/drafting (CAD) such as SolidWorks and AutoCAD to create a three dimensional solid object by laying down consecutive layers of plastic or other material (please see picture below).



We plan to explore more of 3D printing and create objects of our own.  We will also hold design competitions, go on field trips, and hear from guest speakers.

If you have an awesome design in your mind and wish to make it a reality, come join us!  Let us know what guest speakers you want to hear from and where you would like to go on field trips.  CSM Engineering Club is a group collaboration, and every opinion matters.
 
On a side note, please be patient as the website is being set up again for Spring 2013.  Thank you.
