Think[box} : CWRU's Maker Space

The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.

Right now I'm headed to think box for a J to give us a tour of the make your space on campus. I am studying English education, and I'm a 30 year here in case I have been working here for about a year. You don't need to pay a subscription or paper used many of our machines or anything like that. There's obviously not a better way to get two ways to trust you, right? It's just a little joke I like to be. Okay, Now, I don't know if you are aware of this or not, but at the Museum of Natural History here in Cleveland, we have a collection of murder remains. So what they did was they brought him off here and three arms manner to scan all those remains that with a digital files, all of them, and they get pretty print versions of them to put on a splint. Now, speaking of three D printing, if you turn around over here, we have our desk top three printers. So these machines take a material called L. A, which is a type of plastic that comes to schools, and I will use it like a pen will melt it down and then right on themselves, over and over again until you have a final product. This machine right here is our final cutter, thiss machine. What's essentially stickers? So you could see on this piece of acrylic right here. Uh, these machines are used often by students boozing in the projects. Pretty much the only difference is that at the glossy paper has more of a photo finish with the bond paper has a matte finish to it right back here we have our electronics area. This has everything from wares to tools to starring irons, and we have our back above our starring Erin because we want to make sure no one's passing out on us and all of this stuff on, Uh, this a diamond used to Max here is totally free for users. If you want to come over on this side over here and all the stuff on this far rack right here is available for two loans. So you sent your file with us and make things for you that allows us to be a lot more time efficient and, well, it's most efficient with these machines. Machines themselves are really, really expensive and a filament for them anywhere between $600,000 which is kind of crazy. It's possible that we're using as little material as possible, and we don't have to charge you this right here. So that's where if you ever make anything really cool in this space, for example, if you make a robot that you want a large scale photo those backdrops over there, yeah, you make something smaller, like a circuit board this smaller set up right here also seeing people coming here to take their passport photos. So it's really whatever Over here To my left, we have our laser butters. You could write something in them, I think is pretty interesting right here. We have examples of stuff that was made on this floor, almost everything here wass laser cut. That's just because some of the machines on this floor can cause a little bit more damage. Now we have received two glasses on making cross this red and white wine right here. For example, this machine right here, this is called R. I saw this is similar to something you'd see at Home Depot for cutting down pieces of wood or plastic. We also have our shop over here, a machine, that policy and see the way it works is you taking computer programs Senate over the machine. What? And it will go down whatever shape into material that you told over here wishing that I always like to mention especially on tears for prospective students, because this machine has a mechanism in it called a sauce up. You could see the name right there and what that does If you're curious about it, you could look up videos of this online where they test it with hot dogs. If a human hand were to touch the blade of this machine while it's running, blade immediately stops and Bronx down that its toe losing a figure, you get maybe a small scratch it. So right here we have our metal shop way like to keep our metal shop on our woodshop separate because oftentimes, sparks and sawdust don't mix too well now, right here. I have this piece of mild steel here just very, very, uh, a cut into this in about five minutes. A little joke that me and my coworkers like to make is that if you come in here with the shoot diamond, then you don't have too many problems in life Morning now on this floor. So we offer training all the machines on this board to get me to get something calling ability badge, which you just get by taking a tour of this war that's a little more detailed than the one I just gave you. It's about 1 10 to 15 minutes long, and then once you have that, you can get training on any of these machines. There's some example pieces here that were made on various machines on this floor. So we have our people's right there and then we have our CNN jeans over there. You can see their little dirty right now and then, as we follow me this way will seek some other teams. So right here we have the aeronautics team space you can see some of the wings that they work on. So you can see some of their rockets up there on the wall as well as this one which actually moves over here. No. So right here This machine is called our pizza ATM machine that stands for pizza at the moment. This is one of only two of these machines in the entire country.
