Together we can do more - the first debate

the authorities of the city and universities
On Thursday, 4 November, we held the first of three debates at Gdańsk University of Technology, dedicated to the academic society, under the title “Why do we need the Fahrenheit Union of Universities?”, which was attended by the Union authorities: rectors of MUG, Gdańsk Tech and GU, as well as the director of the Union, Prof. Adriana Zaleska-Medynska. The guests invited to the event included i.a. Dariusz Drelich, the Governor of the Pomeranian province, Mieczysław Struk, the Marshal of the Pomeranian province, and Alan Aleksandrowicz, the Deputy Mayor of Gdańsk.

– This meeting shows that we want to cooperate and the debate shall help us answer the questions: where to and why? - said Prof. Krzysztof Wilde, Rector of Gdańsk University of Technology and Chairman of the Fahrenheit Union of Universities in his welcome speech. I am convinced of the values that join us and allow us to jointly change and shape the academic force of our region. Together we can do more: both in the sphere of values as well as in organizational terms.

He loves sailing, so ... he printed his own canoe. Project by Eng. Maciej Karnowski

He's a sailing fan, but didn't have room to store a large boat, so he decided to go for something smaller. As 3D printing is also his passion, so he printed ... a canoe in which he traverses the Motława River and the Martwa Wisła. Maciej Karnowski, a graduate of ocean engineering at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Ship Technology has just defended his engineering thesis entitled "The use of 3D printing in kayak prototyping".  

The kayak was printed at home, it is 2.3 m long and 80 cm wide. Maciej Karnowski designed the boat in such a way that it could be transported by a small car.

 – I printed the canoe at home and it took me a total of 400 hours – the printer worked about six hours a day. It is much smaller than a standard boat of this type, which usually measures about three meters - noted the graduate.
