Technical Meeting: Thursday April 12th
Tim Massaro will present on 3D printing.
"Fun with 3D Printing, Shapeways.com
Remember the replicator from Star Trek where personnel could press a button and out would pop food, spare starship parts or other everyday objects? Well technology is not ready yet to allow us to manipulate molecular structure at this level, but 3D Printing is the next best thing. 3D printing involves using a machine that looks like a proprinter on steroids, the machine takes a design file and through an additive process builds a three dimensional object. 3D printing is now accessible enough so that nearly anyone can design a 3D object using drawing software such as Google Sketchup, upload the design to a site like Shapeways.com, submit credit card information and receive a physical 3D copy of their design in the mail. I know because I recently took the time to do just that. This month, come learn a bit about 3D printing and have a look at my first creation, a Caesar Cipher Decoder Ring."
6 pm, RCTC Heintz Center's HA107.

We have some options.
If there's enough snow, there will be a cardboard sled challenge on Saturday February 4th, as part of WinterFest. This is being organized by Gamehaven Boy Scouts, we could spectate at Willow Creek Golf Course. This year's flier is available at http://www.gamehavenbsa.org/documents/CardboardSledChallengePoster2012.pdf . (Last year's flier is available here). It looks like 9:45 am would be a good time to arrive, to see the sleds before they are raced/demolished.
The Cardboard Sled Challenge was cancelled due to lack of snow.
Dinner at BB's Pizzaria at 6:15 pm. The exact movie schedule for Chateau (East Circle Drive, near Shopko N) isn't released yet, but there should be ~7-7:45 pm showings of various movies that are potentially of interest, including Ghost Rider and Star Wars Episode 1 (3D).
RSVP's to Tina for dinner would be appreciated so we know how big a table to get, although hopefully we've chosen a restaurant where if you suddenly find yourself in need of dinner and company on Friday night you can still join us. Reservations as of Friday midday are for 7 adults and 2 high chairs, under "Tina".
