I am a fourth year Biomedical Engineer at Michigan Technological University. I am a part of the Pavlis Honors College, both as a peer mentor and as a member. In the Summer of 2019, I had the opportunity to go abroad to Tanzania with two other members from the college to work on aiding a small community with local problems (i.e STEM education or health education). I was a member of the Innovative Global Solutions Enterprise with the main task of designing, and constructing, the poly-carbonate packaging for a pandemic ventilator. I am currently a member of the Michigan Tech Open Sustainability Technology Lab working on using recyclable material as filament to 3D-print prosthesis.
Projects
Creating Filament from the Recyclable Material: The recyclable material was run through a device known as the Recyclebot. This device was created by a previous student to allow the use of any material to become filament to use in a 3D-printer. The link below shows the details about the Recyclebot. https://www.appropedia.org/Recyclebot_v4.0ac
Using the Homemade Filament to create Prosthesis: The filament is then inserted into the 3D-printer. For this project, the Lulzbot TAZ 6 is being used with a special head called the Lulzbot TAZ Aerostruder Tool Head. This type of head allows for flexible filament to be used in the machine.
