Last month, the 3D Lab made another road trip, this time to Ohio State University Agricultural Technical Institute in Wooster. Student members of Future Farmers of America regularly hold meetings there. F.F.A. is the premier youth organization preparing members for leadership and careers in the science, business and technology of agriculture. Students are supervised by agricultural education teachers in cooperation with parents, employers, and other adults who assist individuals in the development and achievement of educational and career goals.
During the presentation, we discussed how 3D printers work and its application into agriculture. Thingiverse.com has number of farming and farmer inspired inventions that can be printed and used to support all sorts of tasks and machinery. The members were full of questions about the technology and interested in the 3D Lab that is open for use by the community. FFA members also visit the Romich Makerspace in Creston to work on projects there.
