Beware fellow residents whilst crossing the path of this clandestine contraption, the envious are a watchin\'!!!! - Guy Babin

SCC receives nearly $200K for 3d printing

Click on headlne for entire article with video, photo(s)

By Allison Horseman

Somerset, KY (Mon 1 Aug 2016) - When Eric Wooldridge, associate professor at Somerset Community College (SCC) and one his students, Heather Beebe, presented Beebe's advanced 3D class project to a group of SCC allied health faculty, they had no idea that a video recording from the presentation would eventually reach the upper levels of the National Science Foundation (NSF).

Wooldridge, who leads the college's Additive Manufacturing/3D (AM/3DP) printing program, worked with Beebe, now a pre-med student, several years ago to print an actual model of her skull and spine based off her own MRI scan. The pair presented their application through video conferencing and was discovered by an administrator from NSF. This eventually lead to SCC's enrollment within NSF's Mentor-Connect program, a process that helps prepare post-secondary faculty for NSF grant writing and funding.
