I recently started a 3D CAD (Computer Aided Design) class in my school, where the curriculum is Aviation Mechanics. My students use basic drafting skills with a 2D and 3D CAD program along with laptop computers. My 9th and 11th year students create aircraft drawings that have many intricate parts. To view all of these parts simultaneously is very difficult, especially if they need to be seen in detail. A professional draftsmen and aircraft engineers make copies of such drawings on wide format paper. To do this I need a HP LaserJet 5200dtn Printer. To create professional, wide-format documents, my students would be able to produce professional drawings. The printer’s supplies are engineered to provide consistently sharp black-and-white text and graphics. This work team printer sets the standard for dependable printing, fast print speeds, and advanced networking features with reliability, and performance. This printer will enable my students to work professionally and to operate at peak efficiency. It accentuates the details of the aircraft drawings that the printer will produce. The students in my CAD class produce drawings that are on a college level. Together with CAD software and laptops, the class creates technical drawings. It is similar to what is done in college for a curriculum that is for Aircraft Engineering Design. The use of a large format printer help the student create drawings with great precision and details. With the use and understanding of such a printer, my students will be empowered with the use of such high tech modern equipment. The use of such technology can be useful when applying for internships. The internships help students towards their degree and gain industry experience with the understanding in the use of the most modern equipment available to them. The use of intelligent, flexible printing technology is designed to be used with single or multiple work teams. The printer is simple to install, use, and maintain. It is designed for quick and easy troubleshooting and configuration. The use of this printer can virtually eliminate printer downtime when you use this printing technology. The use of such products helps improve classroom management and improve student performance. The student using this technology will enable status monitoring and proactive alert messages. The consistent print quality will help them use the printer as a professional. This is an important feature for college bound students to understand and make use of. The use of a large format printer will help my students produce 2D and 3D technical aircraft drawings that will be made professionally and on a college level format. Help me produce the next generation of engineers. They will have an impact towards the future of Aviation in the 21st century.
