“Anything is Possible:” 3D Printing with Dr. Steven Singletary

Join us as we chat with 3D printing expert Dr. Steven Singletary of the UNCP Department of Chemistry and Physics. A native of Tar Heel, N.C., Dr. Singletary served in the U.S. Marine Corps before earning a degree in Math and Computer Science from UNC Pembroke. He then earned his Master of Science in Geology from Texas Christian University and his Ph. D in Geochemistry from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.  Back home after his time at MIT, Dr. Singletary is an integral part of his home department, and spends his time leading UNCP’s Rocket Team, who have established themselves as a group to watch after successful competitions and achievements at the national level.  Dr. Singletary has presented and published for over sixty-five leading international journals and conferences and has earned over $2.6 million in successful grant funding to date. He is licensed as a Senior Parachute Rigger by the Federal Aviation Administration and works as an Accelerated Free Fall Instructor for the United States Parachute Association.

Today however, Dr. Singletary joins us to discuss the possibilities and advances in 3D printing, and how we use these machines on campus and across the community.  Join us as we welcome Dr. Singletary and dive into this topic (pun intended, as you’ll hear in the interview) which is so fascinating to us all.
