Successful launch of 3D printed rocket designed by Australian high school students

When it comes to advanced learning, the small series of liberal arts students can be said to be cold and sweaty. But in Gunghalin, Australia, many courses are real and profound. Otherwise, it is impossible for students there to design a 3D printed rocket model and launch it successfully.

One of the most proud things about this school is that they always lead students to the most cutting-edge technology. For example, the school offers a mechatronics course, a relatively new discipline that covers almost all aspects of engineering, including mechanical engineering, electrical, computer, and software engineering. Gunghalin is also one of the few schools in Australia equipped with mechatronics laboratories, with 3D printers, laser cutting machines and CNC engraving machines. Recently, a high school student in a mechatronics class and a high school student in an information technology class took advantage of everything in the lab to try an ambitious project: building and launching a rocket.

They have solved the challenges in the design and manufacture of the model. Two students have made and tested the model several times. The most recent version is a small rocket made of cardboard and plastic, some of which are made of 3D printers. to make. Davide Figuendio said that the rocket's front cone and body were 3D printed, and the rapid progress made him very satisfied. He said: "The entire design process took an hour and the print took 2 hours. So once the necessary adjustments are made, we can print the new version immediately."

Because the rocket's complex electronic system presents them with no small challenges, the entire system includes temperature and humidity sensors, accelerators, magnetometers, altimeters and GPS. Because these components are from different manufacturers, it is not difficult to combine them on a single board. In order to avoid problems in the future, they are working hard to design a custom board to be able to integrate all the required components.

Aside from the problems encountered, the two students conducted a launch test on the rocket last week, and the surprise was that the launch was a complete success. The launch height is 130 meters and there is a satisfactory straight flight path. The parachute on the rocket took it back to the launch point. Their design looks quite successful. Unfortunately, the memory card on the rocket did not record the relevant data needed in the future. For this question, the two students decided to solve the problem before the test flight next week.

In addition, it is interesting to note that the launch button is specifically pressed by the only girl in the mechatronics class. Madeleine believes that women's thrust on scientific development is not enough. She hopes to encourage other female students to make more research in scientific study. Great effort.
