Agricultural Repair & Replacements Using Low Cost Additive Manufacturing, Hay Tedder Part

This case study describes how the Additive Manufacturing (AM) department at Somerset Community College collaborated with a regional beef farmer facing broken machinery during the peak hay harvesting season. By implementing 3D printing, the farmer was able to design and produce replacement parts for broken equipment that otherwise would have taken at least one day to obtain. This case suggests potential opportunities to apply AM techniques for significant time and cost savings.
