TEL380: Advanced Polymer Molding has been building composite kayaks this semester.
Check out the Photographs





Once you have built a kayak, you can go exploring! A few of us paddled all around the St. Regis Wilderness Canoe Area in the Adirondack Park.
It was a lot of fun!

Manufacturing students might want to check out a FREE (pro version is $25) CAD program that I will be using in class. Standard Cad lite does everything we will need to do this semester.

Check the Standard CAD FAQ to see if this free program is for you.




Another cad package that is well featured and available on all platforms is QCad. 24 bucks buys a well thought out cad program!

We will be working with .dxf files so virtually any other CAD package will also work.

Without CAD, you will not be able to use our new CNC flatbed router.
