SA Astatine is a study association for Advanced Technology and Nanotechnology students at the University of Twente. An international non-profit association that supports the students (and staff) of advanced technology and nanotechnology in creating community, creating opportunities for personal development and evaluating the curriculum. This is done through a combination of both educational and extracurricular activities.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robots that are flexible in working hours and that perform regular actions so that you can work more efficiently. When do you deploy a robot and what is the tipping point to automate processes? And what is the advantage of 3D printing? These topics were covered in the masterclasses Robotics and 3D printing<\/a> from the companies Beenen<\/a>, BD Kiestra<\/a> and Philips<\/a>. The students of study association Astatine followed these lectures online at Innovatiecluster Drachten (ICD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thom Pijper, project leader at Philips, asked the students what exactly 3D metal printing entails and what the difference is with conventional production techniques. The benefits of 3D printing were explained with concrete examples from the industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
