  • You’ve heard of 3D printing – the additive manufacturing technology that deposits, molds, or joins material into useful items – but have you heard of 3D printing an entire house?<br />
 <br />
Pete Evans, assistant professor of industrial design, says this emerging tech could capture Iowa’s workforce and help meet the need for affordable housing. Using 3D-printers can lower construction risks, reduce material usage and waste, and allow faster response to natural disasters.<br />
 <br />
His team in the College of Design is collaborating with Iowa Central Community College, the Iowa Economic Development Authority, and Brunow Contracting to bring the idea to life with a demonstration build in Hamburg, Iowa. <br />
 <br />
Iowa State earned four grants totaling $2.15 million to fuel the effort, including a $1.4 million from the Iowa Economic Development Authority to pay for the 3D printers and materials.<br />
 <br />
These construction 3D printers, located in the Computation and Construction Lab in the Design Building, are used for printing models and testing materials. Some large construction 3D printers are 15-by-50-by-8 feet.<br />
Researchers hope to gain insight on the design, affordability, zoning and building codes, community engagement, and training needed to scale up this tech and bring 3-D printed homes across the state and nation.  (Christopher Gannon/Iowa State University)

  • Sixty-eight years ago today, Verl Clark Davisson, 90, of Iowa City advanced on Omaha Beach as part of the first wave of the D-Day invasion during World War II in Normandy, France. <br />
Davisson left the family farm in Wellman after being drafted in 1942. He saw combat in North Africa and Sicily as a member of the 1st Infantry Division prior to D-Day, but says nothing could have prepared him for what he encountered when he hit the water off of Omaha Beach on the morning of June 6, 1944.<br />
“We had no idea what we were going into.  You could see the bullets hitting the water just like rain. Everything was a mess.  There was just no place to go.”<br />
That morning, Davisson was charged with the task of driving a 2 ½ ton truck out of the landing craft and onto the beach. “It hit that water…I was set in water, driving. It went right on up on the beach, never missed a beat. I was pretty proud of that.”<br />
Davisson and his unit spent the next 12 hours fighting their way up the high cliffs over the beach to prepare for what would become the hard fought Battle of Normandy.<br />
To this day, Davisson retains his most prized possession from the war: his war-torn helmet emblazoned with the insignia of the 1st Infantry Division, better known as “The Big Red One.”<br />
About a month following D-Day, Davisson was on patrol in a truck when he came under fire from a rail-mounted German howitzer.  The gun’s large shells exploded all around him.  “It blew a hole that you could’ve drove the truck in and buried it,” he recalls. <br />
After being knocked down by the explosions, he found cover and waited out the onslaught. He eventually returned to base, where he removed his helmet to find a gash ripped in its side from shrapnel impact.   The helmet had saved him from what would have been certain death.  <br />
“It’s been kind of a masterpiece to me,” Davisson says of the helmet.  “It means more to me than anybody. I wouldn’t be sitting here if I hadn’t had it.”

  • Joel Klobnak, 24, hugs his daughter, Grace, 3, outside his Greenfield home.  He lost his leg and developed PTSD during a tour of Iraq with the Marines in 2006.  He's now caught in bureaucratic red tape that has forced him to wait two years to find out if he qualifies for full disability.  His frustrations are part of a national scandal over delays in the VA's system for determining who deserves disability pay for their wartime injuries and mental issues. Klobnak is trying to support a family of four on the $1,500 per month the VA is sending him for partial disability while his appeal is pending.
