It’s not the first time PSU students have done well in the competition in 2019, a PSU team won “Most Captivating Design” for its Viking axe, and in 2020, a PSU team won “Best Cast Guard and Pommel” for its Bowie knife. “ We’re very proud that they came out on top in a competition of this level,” Rosmait said. In 2011, two successful users achieved the MAGMA Certification, namely, Jason Lythjohan from Premier Aluminum, LLC and Ian McNally from Hodge Foundry. The team was comprised of mechanical engineering technology major s Jacob Tiehen, a graduating senior from Shawnee, Kansas, and Jacob Otter, a senior from Pittsburg who will graduate in December and manufacturing engineering technology majors Colton Southwell, a senior from Fort Scott, Kansas, who will graduate in December, Austin Jacks, a junior from Archie, Missouri, and Kolton Darrow, a junior from Pittsburg.Įach will be awarded a $500 scholarship from the Steel Founders Society Educational Foundation. Establishing a mark of excellence that sets their organization apart from the competition, including those who already have MAGMASOFT. Professor Russ Rosmait, who served as the advisor for the PSU team, said his students beat out 27 teams from around the world in the competition.Į ach team was tasked with using modern casting tools, like MAGMASoft , to design and produce their hammer, which had to be functional, of highest quality, and have unique features. The PSU team’s hammer was created over several months with the help of Monett Metals of Monnett, Missouri, Trojan Heat Treating of Joplin, Missouri, and World Class Protypes of Holland, Michigan.Įach submission included a project video and technical report documenting the design and manufacturing process the PSU team earned a runner up award in the technical report category. “It swung great, and it smashed the hell out of stuff,” Abbot said. Judges also praised the fine detail, design, and quality as being “outstanding ,” and said it performed well in multiple tests. Our specially curated suite of loan offerings and services are uniquely designed to empower every customer to accomplish their new milestones with ease. He also liked the “unicorn spiral” handle, which he said was “fun to hold on to.” With this commitment, we have dedicated ourselves to serve our valued customers the best of offerings. “Straight off the bat, that’s a cool looking hammer,” said judge Ben Abbot, a two-time winner on the show Forged in Fire, who praised the team’s use of negative space and described the cast as “flawless.”

They met that requirement dead-on and, after their hammer was put through a series of rigorous performance tests, they were declared the winners of the 2021 Cast in Steel Competition by the Steel Founders Society of America. If Thor's hammer is indeed made of a star like the Marvel comic book says, it weighs as much as 300 billion elephants - or at least that’s what astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson came up with when the question was posed to him a few years ago.Ī team of six engineering technology students who created their own Thor’s hammer for a global competition had things a bit easier: theirs was to weigh no more than 6 pounds.
