5th year students used team work to help quickly spread adhesive on layers of a large project that needed to be placed in the vacuum form before the glue dried.

KUDOS TO REBECCA KEATING

IAPD Graduate Student Rebecca Keating placed second in the K-State Launch entrepreneurial start up business competition, bringing home a $5,000 cash prize. Launch is an entrepreneurial idea competition for K-State students with new venture ideas. The competition is open to all K-State undergraduate and graduate students or teams from all majors. Rebecca has been developing a line of customizable women's motorcycle armor utilizing 3D body scanning and 3D additive manufacturing. Her goal is to create a more comfortable and attractive line of protective gear for this growing niche market segment.

Her company, Rekreative Design, is currently submitting a patent application for the process of customizable fabrication, and intends to launch an alpha storefront in Spring, 2017. Great job, Rebecca!
