Purdue students are researching ways to use additive manufacturing (aka 3D printing) for airplane and engine maintenance.
Aeronautical engineering technology students have used 3D printers in two courses to test how accurately the prototypes can be made. In one instance, they successfully created an airframe door hinge; in another, they created an engine bearing. Both projects will be used to evaluate time efficiency and costs compared to traditional fabrication processes.

Update for April 28, 2014
Food insecurity is a daily struggle for millions of families in India. In fact, because parents worry every day about their next meal, they aren’t always able to focus on long-term plans such as careers for their children.
Eric Dietz, professor of computer and information technology, was interviewed on Indianapolis's Fox 59 April 21 about security measures for the 500 Festival OneAmerica Mini Marathon and other large public events.
Read the story and see his interview (which is on the second video).
A radio-fired rocket was supposed to end a quick high-altitude flight near Noblesville, Ind., but an unexpectedly durable balloon led Purdue students on a nine-hour winding odyssey deep into Ohio that ended at the end of dirt road in remote farm country on Saturday (April 19).
