This fall, you\u2019ll notice two custom-made game sets near the windows in the Clermont College Library<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"chess\"<\/p>\n

The anodized aluminum chess\/checker combo was produced by capstone students in the Manufacturing Engineering Technology<\/a> program at UC East<\/a> in spring 2015.\u00a0 Led by Profs. Dexter Hulse<\/a> and Chris Goodman<\/a>, students designed the set using CAD and CAM software and produced it on our campus, utilizing conventional and computerized numerical control machine tools.<\/p>\n

\"checkers\"<\/p>\n

The 3-D printed checkers set was created in fall 2016 by the IT Pros<\/a>, an award-winning Clermont College student organization. The project was led by Patrick Voto (President, 2015-16) under the guidance of the\u00a0faculty advisor Prof. Bill Nicholson<\/a>. The\u00a0printer\u00a0produces\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>pieces using an additive manufacturing technique. Each square took approximately 20 minutes to print, checker\u00a0pieces took\u00a012 minutes to print. The total production time added up to around 36 hours.<\/p>\n

We love our new games \u2013 and so do our students.\u00a0 Thanks again to the Manufacturing Engineering Technology students and the IT Pros for these amazing (and usable) works of art.<\/p>\n
