The team's award-winning design was a Super Ultimate Pusher system, which provides two employees at CW Resources the ability to do their job faster and with more accuracy. The employees have the challenging task of pressing plastic caps into metal lids. Seeing the challenge, students on the JETS Engineering Design Team completely designed a new system that includes 3D printed parts, motors, an arbor press and an instructional video. The new system was a success and dramatically improved the employees ability to do their job.
