Last year, I got accepted to MIT’s professional additive manufacturing course. Interesting fact is that the acceptance criteria for the course was being a university graduate and having 4 years of experience in that area. I had 4 years of experience, but I am not a university graduate, I am still in high-school. I believe, I was the first high-school student to be accepted to an MIT’s professional course.
There, a competition was held. A lego-wheeled car running down an decline with a mass on it and coming to a frictional plane. The distance travelled divided by the 3D printed part of the car gives the car’s score points. I thought, the key would be making the car as light as possible. So, I designed a car, barely a car, and surprisingly, I won the first place with 2.3 times higher score points than the second place winner. So, my award was a 3D printed version of the MIT’s building, which is the replicate, printed using @formlabsForm2, of the first object printed from the world’s first 3D printer which was invented in MIT and having binder jetting technology. The 3D model of the building was made by the 3D printer’s inventers.

 

 

I 3D designed it using @DassaultSytemes@SolidWorks. I 3d printed it using @ultimaker.
