3D Printing Guinness World Record Try by LeTourneau University

[Geoff]

Should the amount of effort matter or the record itself? It seems the effort is irrelevant to whether the record is achieved. That said, we have 3+ years of solid work and effort to get us to this place.
I agree the record should have some sort of rules--I don't have any problem with that. If we have to print the same thing, that will be no problem--it will be easier. Again, we'll have to see what Guinness themselves say, but whatever standard they set, I'm sure we can meet it.

A bit of both I suppose I just grew up remembering when someone broke a Guinness record it was a big thing, or something that you couldn't do on a normal day. Hopefully your video will compel others to try and top it, I would like to see it done with say, 150 people all coming together and putting their machines into it, that would be cool.

Mainly I refer to the article on it, where they say they were all printing the same commerative coin, perhaps the fact they were doing that means it was stipulated in the rules, who knows, I guess you'll find out soon enough from Guinness.

"The Guinness World Record has accepted our record application to create this new international world record and claim the title, if we are successful," said LETU Dean of Engineering Dr. Ron DeLap. "We expect to make history."
The student engineering team tried to get at least 50 3D printers printing the same commemorative coin simultaneously during the public 3D printing demonstration event held at 3 p.m. Friday, April 4, in the Solheim Arena of the Solheim Recreation Center on the LETU campus, 2100 S. Mobberly Ave.
