Scholarship recipient John Chol Deng Chol is a Bachelor of Nursing student.
This year’s recipient of the Charles See Kee Leadership Scholarship is Charles Darwin University (CDU) Bachelor of Nursing student John Chol Deng Chol.
Mr Chol knows firsthand about hardship and loss. He was only 10 years old when he fled his home in South Sudan, escaping the atrocities of a civil war that killed four of his brothers.
Mr Chol said he’s humbled to receive the scholarship, a $14,000 bursary for students who are humanitarian entrants or refugees.
“I’m honoured by this award and I pay tribute to the vision of Mr See Kee, who-like me-came here as a war refugee. Thanks to his enduring legacy, I can pay down my student loans and focus more attention on my studies,” Mr Chol said.
CHALLENGE
To demonstrate the capability of SPEE3D technology to produce metal parts on demand for the Royal Australian Navy.
These parts also need to meet military specifications however the process of 3D printing parts is fundamentally different than conventional manufacturing. Conventional methods already have established pathways for achieving these certifications. The challange was to establish a pathway for 3D printed parts to also achieve the certification. This was a collaborative project with Charles Darwin University (CDU).
SOLUTION
The solution was to print an aluminium camlock hose fitting that was designed as per the relevant military specifications and have this part validated through functional testing.
