Six months of hard work showcased at the IMECHE Automation Challenge Finals π
After six months of development, our apprentices recently attended the IMECHE Automation Challenge Finals Day at AMTC to present their prototype, G-Eco.
Designed as a domestic 3D printing filament recycler, G-Eco was created to help give waste material a new purpose and support more sustainable 3D printing practices.
As part of the challenge, teams pitched their ideas to industry judges, explored other innovative projects, and connected with apprentices from across the UK.
While we didn't take home the top prize this time, the experience provided valuable opportunities to develop presentation skills, receive feedback from industry professionals, and learn from other talented teams.
We're incredibly proud of the commitment, creativity and teamwork shown throughout the project.
Well done to everyone involved! π
