3-D printed feet for chicken

Posted on Updated on

According to engineering teacher Andrew Abissi and students at the West Michigan Aviation Academy Brockman, “We went in and took a couple preliminary measurements with calipers and then we were like, we’re going to 3-D print it with the things we have here at the school,

What we do is design 3-D models on (design software) SOLIDWORKS and email them to this computer here. This project has been a semester-long and a lot of error going into it, so the fact that they were able to continue to work hard has been a tremendous experience and learning opportunity”.
According to Diepstra “Really, she runs around the yard just like this. Like no problem, she can full-out sprint”.
