WSU Enhances AM Learning with Stratasys F370®CR Composite 3D Printer
About Weber State University
The Advanced Research and Solutions Center at Weber State University is an innovation and collaboration area for local industry, primarily in the aerospace, defense, and advanced materials sectors. In addition, the center provides access to R&D resources that include additive manufacturing while offering educational and practical opportunities for students.
The Challenge
Providing students and local industry with the best opportunities for success requires access to current and emerging technologies, including additive manufacturing. However, existing WSU additive capabilities relied on older 3D printers, which were slow and costly to operate, with few material options. This situation limited WSU's Advanced Research and Solution Center's ability to meet student and local industry needs.
The Solution: Composite 3D Printing
To strengthen its 3D printing capabilities, the university added a Stratasys F370®CR composite 3D printer to complement its manufacturing and fabrication equipment.
The F370CR operates with two composite materials and several other engineering-grade thermoplastics. The composite 3D printing materials include FDM® Nylon-CF10 and ABS-CF10, which incorporate 10% chopped carbon fiber for added strength and rigidity.
Composite 3D Printing at Weber State University
Adding the F370CR printer gives WSU the capabilities of a current-technology 3D printer with more material options, including advanced composite polymers. The F370CR 3D printer’s ease of use and consistent printing performance gives users a faster, more reliable means of developing 3D printed solutions.
Ultimately helping WSU achieve the facility’s goal of providing innovative and leading-edge tools for its current and future students and customers.

A single system for comprehensive technical training.
Gaining knowledge and practical skills in increasingly complex technical systems in ever shorter time cycles is the major challenge for present-day and future technical training. This challenge can be addressed with the UniTrain system, a computer-aided, multimedia system for experimentation and training in electrical engineering and electronics.
UniTrain offers a combination of more than 130 learning programs with associated experimentation hardware, allowing all areas of electrical engineering to be explored.
Your benefits
- One system – many applications
- For the classroom, laboratory, workplace, and recreation
- For independent studies, laboratory internships, and teaching
- Stand-alone, in a network, or as part of a learning management system (LMS)
Bryan High School is located in Bellevue, Nebraska, a city 8 miles south of Omaha, and it is part of the Omaha Public Schools (OPS) school district. The school serves grades 9 to 12 and has built its curriculum around sixteen career clusters intended to prepare students to complete high school, begin work on a post-secondary degree, or enter the workforce. Bryan High School has a population of just over 2,000 students and 120 staff members.
The Transportation, Distribution, and Logistics (TDL) Academy is a four-year program of study within Bry-an High School for students interested in careers in transportation, distribution, or supply-chain management. The program uses a “Pocket Academy” approach, integrating technical instruction with academic content. Teachers from other subject areas work with the Academy instructors to incorporate curriculum and concepts into core academic subjects.
To give students the real-world experience needed to meet new career-ready requirements, Bryan High School partnered with First Book, a non-profit book bank providing books to needy children. Bryan High School is one of sixteen secondary school distribution centers for First Book. One of the objectives of this partnership is to provide TDL students with industry-recognized OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) and forklift operator certifications.
Simlog’s new Backhoe Loader Personal Simulator puts you at the controls of a backhoe loader at work in a typical construction site. Both SAE and ISO joystick patterns are available, and changing the point of view during the simulation is easy with joystick buttons, keyboard function keys, and mouse controls.
Nine Simulation Modules of increasing level of difficulty begin by teaching basic skills and coordination in early exercises such as “Bucket Positioning” and “Stockpiling”. Later Simulation Modules culminate skills training with exercises such as exposing buried utilities with the backhoe bucket on "Buried Utilities - Perpendicular Excavation."
Key Benefits of the Operator Chair:
- Fully assembled with USB controls
- Steel platform on casters
- Adjustable seat, steering, and arm consoles
- Multi-purpose configurations
Simlog Replica Controls for the Backhoe Loader Personal Simulator features industrial strength components suitable for both table-top mounting and Simlog’s Operator Chair. If you are a Simlog customer, you may be able to re-use the Replica Controls that you already have.
Replica Controls begin with two industrial USB joysticks. There are a total of 8 push-buttons for the thumb, plus a trigger, to let you change the viewpoint by looking to the left/right, looking up/down, and by changing the viewing mode during the simulation. The USB electronics are built right into the base, so the joystick can be connected directly to your PC. Simlog also offers table-top mounting brackets to bring the joysticks down from table-top height to the sides of an ordinary chair to mimic better the positioning of real controls in the cabin of real heavy equipment.
To complete the Replica Controls, add the Logitech “G920 Driving Force Racing Wheel” consisting of a steering wheel, a three-pedal unit, and the Transmission Control Lever suitable for many other Personal Simulators. (The Logitech “Driving Force Shifter” can also be used.)
