February 6, 2015 |
by Ellie Rodgers Bonners Ferry High School FIRST Robotics Team 2130 Alpha+ is excited to share the news that we were chosen to receive an EKOCYCLE™ Cube® 3D Printer for our Robotics team. 3D Systems, Inc. produces 3D printers that use post-consumer recycled plastic to create three dimensional objects up to 6 x 6 x 6 inch dimension. 3D Systems, Inc. in partnership with The Coca-Cola Company, challenged thousands of FIRST Tech Challenge teams and FIRST Robotics teams around the world to write essay proposals detailing how they would use a 3D printer. Alpha+ was one of the successful teams to be awarded a 3D printer. Alpha+ hopes to utilize the printer to construct parts for our robot, prepare displays for the high school, and have demonstrations for our community, highlighting the importance of advanced technology. FIRST Robotics Team 2130 Alpha+ is extremely grateful to 3D Systems and The Coca-Cola Company for this opportunity. |
