Mbrio

These patented prenatal headphone adapters allow mothers to enjoy music with their babies. Medical grade silicone dampens the sound to safe levels to protect the baby's hearing while plastic clips attach easily to the waistband. Access to the think[box] PolyJet 3D Printing Services accelerated Mbrio's design for manufacturing, producing more prototypes in less time and for less money.
Scrabble Board

Brian Vondruska engineered his own rotating Scrabble board so that everyone in his games club can play the game right-side up.
Epigraphic Squeeze Models from Photgrammerty

Andrew Mancuso, preservation officer at Kelvin Smith Library, used a process called photogrammetry to create 3D models of historical Cleveland graffiti near Doan Brook. He brought the models to think[box] to 3D print the models out for a hands-on element to include in his research presentation.
Living Wall System

The Living Wall System (LIWAS) brings bio-utilization and biomimicry together. The clay panels mimic the shape of leaves to help cool buildings and conserve energy by dissipating water vapor quickly. The foam models for the plaster molds were made with the ShopBot at think[box]
Custom Longboard

Alex Blake designed and built this custom longboard from scratch. He modeled the boards with SolidWorks before machining the mold with the shopbot to achieve curved surfaces. Laminated bamboo and fiberglass was pressed the deck into the molds to achieve a smooth organic shape. Grip tape cut into custom shapes on the laser cutter finished the deck.
CAN Kong and Terminal Tower

CANstruction, Inc. is a non-profit organization that holds annual design and build competitions to benefit local food banks. The sculpture consists of approximately 6,000 tuna cans wrapped in black trash bags and trace paper in the form of CAN Kong and Terminal Tower. The team cut the pieces stabilizing the sculpture on the ShopBot.
Intubot

Intubot is a novel robotic intubation device that deploys an endotracheal tube between a patient’s vocal cords to protect and ventilate the lungs during a respiratory failure or distress. Intubation is one of the most common procedures performed worldwide in emergency departments but requires a high level of skill. Doctors will also experience difficulties during the procedure such as short necks, arthritic spines, etc. These issues motivated Ph.D. student Xiangyi Cheng to design a device that facilitated the procedure. The automation of this complicated procedure signifies another step towards improving medical practices by obtaining higher accuracy and efficiency.
Dynamic Rocket Stability Control Module

Vincent Cozza, Benjamin Fruitman and Richard Offhaus created this simple, lightweight and dynamic 3D printed rocket active stabilization system. Their design uses cheaper components and materials making it easier to produce than current stabilizers on the market, which in turn gives novice rocketeers access to rocket stabilization technology. Onboard electronics track a variety of environmental inputs and guide the rocket along the correct path.
Perceiving Art Through Sculpture Models

The Perceiving Arts Through Sculpture (PATS) program helps visually impaired people interact with art and illustration. Leslie Humez, a sculptor, works with other artists to create these representations of 2D illustrations in sculpture in her studio and 3D printed prototype models at think[box]. PATS not only opens up museums to people who are visually impaired but also improves the experiences of sighted people with hands-on, interactive exhibits.
Next Generation MRI

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) creates anatomical images by detecting magnetization in the human body. Prior to being detected, the magnetization must be "excited," which is typically done by applying a powerful radio-frequency magnetic field, referred to as the RF transmit field. However, the RF transmit field is potentially harmful to certain patients, especially those with implanted devices. By separating the RF transmit system into an array of smaller antennas and amplifiers working in parallel, the hazard is reduced, making it possible for millions of patients with implants to benefit from high field MRI.
