Technology week- 3-D Printing demonstration
Technology week is in full swing in Nenagh college. Today at lunch students were welcomed to a 3-D Printing demonstration. Students were introduced to the processes of designing and prototyping using the additive process of 3-D Printing. They were given a demonstration on how to prepare their files in order to facilitate the manufacture process, instructed as to the best practice in locating their product on the machine bed and shown how to troubleshoot any potential areas for malfunction prior to commencing printing.
Each student who attended this workshop was gifted a Nenagh College keyring which had been designed using a 3-d modelling software in the room and manufactured on the machine.
Technology Week – lunchtime demonstration
Technology week continues at Nenagh college with a lunchtime demonstration on using our laser cutter.
Students were shown the process of setting up and running the laser cutter. This was an excellent way to highlight some of the possibilities available to students in the Technology department. The demo showed students the laser cutter cutting out a designed piece but also Rastering (the process of engraving an image onto a desired piece, The image is engraved by the laser machine line by line, point by point, similar to the way in which an inkjet printer applies ink, but instead of ink being applied, material is removed pixel by pixel by the laser.)
