Engineering student wins Three Minute Thesis by addressing flaws in 3D printing
Dora Strelkova took top honours in the UWindsor Three Minute Thesis competition with her presentation “You wouldn’t want a pie filled with holes, so why should we accept 3D printed parts with them?”
A mechanical engineering graduate student took first place in the annual Three Minute Thesis competition with research that pokes holes in three-dimensional printing technology by exploring the flaws left in printed parts.
Dora Strelkova impressed the judges with her presentation, titled “You wouldn’t want a pie filled with holes, so why should we accept 3D printed parts with them?” Her thesis project, which she has been working on for the past two semesters, began as a new hobby she developed during pandemic lockdowns.
