New Horizons: STEM Club Helps Ohio Girls Take The Lead In 3D Printing

Bruce Watson
September 25, 2017
When Jessica Hughes moved to Cincinnati in 2016 for a new job as a sixth-grade STEM teacher, she noticed that something was amiss. Along one wall of her classroom sat three 3D printers, which she planned to use to teach her students about computer-aided design (CAD) and 3D printing. The boys in her class quickly took to the machines. “Many of them were in Lego leagues and robotics competitions, and they already had a lot of experience with CAD design and 3D printing,” she says. But these concepts were brand new to the girls.

Like many large companies, Qantas, the Australian national carrier, has been looking for ways to become more sustainable. The airline has been introducing new lightweight freight containers to cut fuel consumption, investing in electric-powered ground vehicles, and replacing lighting in all of its operational areas with energy-efficient LEDs. But when it wanted to cut its carbon footprint even more, the solution came in large part from one of the airline’s most treasured assets: its pilots.

Smart Specs: OK Glass, Fix This Jet Engine

Kristin Kloberdanz
July 19, 2017
Jet engine makers estimate they lose millions of dollars each year because nuts that seal fluid lines and hoses, called b-nuts, aren’t screwed on just right. If the b-nuts are deemed too loose or too tight during testing, the engine has to be fixed before it can power a plane with paying passengers.
Until recently, there were few good ways to tell if the nut had hit that sweet spot. Workers with torque wrenches had to rely on their skill and judgment to nail the delicate balance.
