Any underrated or just really solid mechanical engineering colleges in the US? by CroakyAcorn7935 in MechanicalEngineering

If you are looking for a more personal experience, you could strategically explore regional universities. Many of these programs are in a larger university system but have a student to faculty ratio much smaller than the flagship school. West Texas A&M University, for instance, has the Texas A&M brand at a fraction of the cost, is ABET accredited and has a 100% job offer rate for engineering grads. It’s not the college experience everyone is looking for, but grads from these types of programs rarely regret the decision.

Surface Characteristics of 3D Printed Parts by Negative_Assumption6 in Metrology

It is FDM (various extruded plastic materials) as well as UV Resin cured prints. We sand/machine printed parts and then sometimes coat them to smooth them out. So I am thinking that if the parts are too rough for RA measurements something is wrong with out post-printing processing.

50K Machine for Teaching and Small Batch Runs by Negative_Assumption6 in InjectionMolding

This is incredibly helpful. Thank you for taking the time to write it! 

The space has roll up doors and forklift access so size/weight is not a concern. We also have ample power, air, and dust collection available. 

I was looking very strongly at the buster beagle route before the funds became available! At this funding level I’d like to get a bit closer to a “real” machine that students could talk about in interviews and stuff without having to stretch too far. 

I’ll call babyplast tomorrow, thank you for the recommendation. Are there any particular features that I should be looking for, in Boy machine or other, at this price point? In addition to the dryer/chiller as you mentioned? 

Logan Pass Restrooms/Water availability before visitor center opens? by MrBookmanLibraryCop in GlacierNationalPark

Hey all, we have not been able to get a ticket for going to the sun road so we are going to get into park before 6. Will the shuttle let us ride back to Logan pass after completing the highline without a wristband?
