In 2014 Augsburg acquired a 3D printer for use by both faculty and students. The printer has already been used to print objects to demonstrate its capabilities, for classroom demonstrations, for use in lab experiments, and for educational activities for students and professors.<\/p>\n
As an example, we have\u00a0printed an\u00a0NMR tube holder for Dr. Wentzel, a Chemistry professor. Dr. Wentzel wanted\u00a0a way to carry NMR tubes, thin test-tubes which\u00a0hold chemicals, over to his collaborators at the University of Minnesota. Thus, an NMR tube holder was designed and printed for him (see picture), allowing for easier and safer carrying of these test tubes.<\/p>\n
Another object that has been printed is a microfluidics mold for Dr.\u00a0Stottrup. Dr.\u00a0Stottrup is involved in Physics experiments\u00a0with microfluidics –\u00a0experiments with incredibly small amounts of fluids. Dr.\u00a0Stottrup required a mold with which to make multiple channels through which fluids could be carefully mixed. Thus, a mold was created that fit his criteria, allowing him to create multiple microfluidics mixing devices.<\/p>\n
The 3D printer is currently available for use by both students and faculty. See this pamphlet<\/a> or the Augsburg Community 3D Printing Moodle page\u00a0<\/span>for more information.\u00a0For more information\u00a0contact Professor Haines at haines@augsburg.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In 2014 Augsburg acquired a 3D printer for use by both faculty and students.
