We have printed more than 1,000 face shield holders--personal protective equipment (PPE)--to give back to our community. There are more than ten 3D printers working almost constantly to print these for our local healthcare workers. #UtProsim #Hokies
These pieces you see here are PPE parts for protective face shields. Each time our 3D Design Studio team fills a box we drop it off at Goodwin Hall and from there FASER Lab organizes the collection and distribution to healthcare providers. 💪 #COVID19
Thank you to @lulzbot3D for supporting us in our #COVID19 response! We have been using their donated filament to print more face shields in the spirit of #UtProsim.
This week, we collected an additional 638 shield frames! Thanks again to @trecvt, @DREAMSLab, and @VTEngineering! Let's keep showing our #Hokie pride and #UtProsim spirit.
This week @virginia_tech collected and sterilized 640 face shields to be sent to NRV medical professionals. Thanks to everyone for demonstrating #UtProsim! Additional thanks to Prof. Chris Williams @DREAMSLab, Prof. Alex Leonessa @trecvt, and our own Liam Chapin. @VirginiaTech_ME
Research groups around @virginia_tech have joined up in a coordinated response to design, produce, and test critical equipment like PPE and ventilator components to help healthcare workers fight #COVID19. Read the full article👉 bit.ly/2xzQ8bh
Absolutely blown away how the @virginia_tech community has come together to #3Dprint face shields for medical professionals around the NRV. The collection bins were FULL today! Thanks to Prof. Alex Leonessa @trecvt & Liam Chapin @VT_FASERLab for leading the way! @VirginiaTech_ME
Copper 3D printing isn't new to ExOne's binder jetting process. Our customers, such as Virginia Tech and Prof. Christopher Williams, have been doing it since 2013. Check our newly released material list: bit.ly/34uKBOO #metal3Dprinting #binderjetting #materialscience
With the shortage of medical PPE due to #COVID19, the FASER Lab is working to supply face shields to local medical centers. We have 6 lab 3D printers and 9 personal printers running; here's a short video from one of our students! Read more here: bit.ly/2ypAzCX @lulzbot3D
Happy holidays, #Hokies! 🤖❄️ @VirginiaTech_ME researchers are working to develop control algorithms for the next generation of collaborative #robots. #VTEngineering
From our robot family to yours, happy holidays!
Take a look at some behind-the-scenes images from last week's @WDBJ7 interview with @EricMillerWDBJ7 at @VirginiaTech_ME!
The @VT_FASERLab sat down with @WDBJ7's Eric Miller to talk about building robots to one day be used in space. @VTEngineering wdbj7.com/content/news/V…
Be on the lookout tonight at 11pm on @WDBJ7 - Eric Miller interviews Assistant Professor Erik Komendera, director of the @VT_FASERLab about building robots to one day build in space. @VTEngineering @NASA_Langley
Take a look at NINJAR and SAMURAI at NASA Langley, formerly done by Dr. Erik Komendera, @quasardreamer, and @64_B1T, all of whom are now at the FASER Lab!

Josh Moser, our collaborator from @VT_FASERLab on a panel on Space Applications of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence at #IAC2019
Listening to Josh Moser present “A Reinforcement Learning Approach for the Autonomous Assembly of In-Space Habitats and Infrastructure in Uncertain Environments” at #IAC2019. This work is collaborative between @VT_FASERLab and @NASA_Langley @AutonomyIncub8r co-author John Cooper.
Our Mobile Assembly Robotic Collaborators, also known as the MARCs, are also working together to assemble a truss! We are working to ensure that they will be able to work together autonomously. #VirginiaTech #MechanicalEngineering #hokies #engineering
