|
This page is for information about the PSU Unit Black, built by group members Dan Sauber, Terry Zhang and Alex P. This unit is of the Mendel/Prusia hybrid variety. All of the printed parts were printed by other units in our group. During the Fall 2012 semester, PSU Unit Black was transferred to Penn State's Material Science Department to explore alternative materials, in particular, ceramic-impregnated polymers.
