The children in 4th, 5th and 6th really enjoyed their visit to Stryker in Cork. It was fantastic to see how CAD design and 3D printing is transforming many manufacturing processes. Following a presentation and tour of the premises the children enjoyed a lovely meal, a fun quiz and some lovely prizes. We hope you enjoy our latest entry into the 3D Printing Sustainability Challenge.

The children from the Senior Room were due to visit Stryker’s Anngrove Building in Cork to learn more about 3D printing at one of the largest 3D printing facilities in the world. Unfortunately this visit had to be postponed until the autumn. This visit was part of Togher National School’s prize for it’s Best Design winning entry into a nationwide 3D Printing Sustainability Challenge. This Challenge was funded by EIT Manufacturing and supported by I-Form based in U.C.D. and Stryker. Another part of the prize was a €1000 voucher for the school and individual prizes for the children involved in the project. The school has recently received €50 Gift Vouchers for each of the children in the Senior Room and will be in touch with details about these gift vouchers. Well done to all the children involved and a huge thank you to Stryker for this wonderful prize. We are very much looking forward to our visit.
