Join Cool Science for Science on Tap every 2nd Monday of the month. Due to COVID-19 restrictions we are currently going virtual using Zoom video conferencing. [Normally we meet at Jack Quinn’s in downtown Colorado Springs. Presenters begin at 6:30 pm with food and drink available beginning at 6:00 pm]. A wide variety of fascinating topics are presented by local scientists for informal discussion, and the relaxed atmosphere encourages anyone and everyone to come explore the latest ideas in science and technology. From practical to theoretical, the presentations and group interactions provide a fun and interesting way to gain an understanding of the world around us.

"Additive Manufacturing at UCCS"
Dr. Jena McCollum, UCCS Dept. of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
Summary:
Many applications have incorporated additive manufacturing (AM) in the past couple of decades. However, there are still many hurdles to establish AM feasibility for composite materials. One of the main challenges is creating a layered material that mechanically performs on par with casted or materials produced through subtractive technologies. This presentation covers some of the key interfacial issues and how the Additive Manufacturing Laboratory at UCCS is tackling these problems with mechanical testing procedures.

Dr. McCollum is currently an Assistant Professor and Director of the Additive Manufacturing Laboratory in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department at UCCS. See earned her Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Texas Tech University in 2015 and was a postdoctoral researcher at the US Air Force Academy before joining the faculty at UCCS in 2016.
