A big "Thank you!" to everyone who submitted entries for the Penn State Today pet photo contest. This spring's contest was the most popular to date, with more than 200 submissions. It was a difficult task to whittle down so many wonderful photos to a Top 10 list, but here are the winning entries:
— Geddy, hamster, submitted by Colleen Ganzelli, former student at Penn State Altoona
— Henry and Penny, French bulldogs, submitted by Justin Ingala, 2006 alumnus
Using CAD software, Nicholas Unis designs a custom shoe and implements it into a program which slices the 3D design into thousands of layers that will be printed on his customized 3D printer. From there, the software creates a tool path to deposit material in each layer. The tool path for each layer is then exported to an SD card and put into the printer to fabricate the shoe.
