Challenge: 4-H in partnership with SAM was developing a curriculum to introduce aquaculture in Maryland to K-12 students. They approached TW to design, prototype, and manufacture a hands-on curriculum aid that would be included in physical teaching kits.
Solution: TW came up with a series of 3-D concepts to illustrate oyster anatomy, an important living resource in the Chesapeake Bay. The ideas evolved into a colorful laser-cut oyster puzzle identifying the body parts and organs. The acrylic pieces interlock and stack onto each other, enabling students to learn about oyster anatomy through hands-on interaction. The Terrapin Works Design Team prototyped and manufactured 100 oyster anatomy puzzles for the team of professors.
Technology Types: 3D Scanning Systems, Laser Cutting/Engraving
Equipment: Epilog Laser Fusion M2
