• If anyone has any tools, materials, or anything they want to order for next term please let us know

• Some ideas:

  • Torque wrench with a bolt marker

  • Water jet / machining money

  • CF fabric / composites items

  • Aluminum stock

  • More 3D printing filament

  • gowns for during composites or sanding items down

  • Another powder bed sheet for printer?
