Projects
Mr. Pope's CAD class designed, 3D printed and vacuum formed West Islip themed chocolate molds. Click to take a look at the process.
Cobot Drilling Station
West Islip Robotics R&D - - In partnership with one of our local Manufacturing companies, the Robotics class is evaluating the feasibility of using a Universal Robotics UR5e cobot to automate drilling for aerospace applications.
In building our corporate relationships, we have become a go to source for custom made parts. These experience help to foster high impact, on-demand learning opportunities for our students.
Take a look at the executive boardroom sign that was cut in our lab on the Shopsabre CNC plasma cutter. We didn't make it shinny and polished, but our students were able to work on the CAM toolpaths and help cut the parts. For this job we swapped out "shop air" for compressed Nitrogen gas. Nitrogen helps to ensure a clean edge when plasma cutting aluminum.
Parts Template
This is what happens when a former student calls to ask if your current students can cut a template for an unidentified aerospace parts kit for a government contract. Single day turn around. Amazing opportunity for our students.
The company associated did not have these capabilities in house, but WI Engineering Technology was able to help them out.
See how we design and plasma cut our own floor drain covers.
3D Printing since 2008!
Examples of some of our oldest CAD and 3D printed parts.
