A few months ago we met Gal Hiltch, native to Israel and current student of Dentistry at our university. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"But if you think that all Gal does is studying and preparing for his numerous academic projects, you are wrong: not only does Gal want to become a dentist<\/strong>, but he also enjoys creating objets: from Irish whistles to pens, bicycles and all sorts of mechanical devices<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In the near future, his fellow classmates will have the chance to work with some of his workpieces.<\/p>\n

“So some people know that in addition of being a Dentistry<\/strong> student at University CEU Cardenal Herrera, I have a deep passion for combining art and mechanics – building Irish flutes, antique mechanical mechanisms, and making devices. While taking the practical course of Dental biomaterials<\/em> this year I’ve enjoyed sharing ideas and thoughts with Professor Salvatore Sauro<\/a>, a talented world-class researcher, and one of my best teachers as well.<\/p>\n

During a mechanical measurement we carried out at the practicals, he told me about the need of using a mechanical device that would clamp the machines used in the practical, and would make it easier to obtain the measurements while making them more accurate. Two days after the lab, a prototype had already been sketched and later a prototype had been grossly assembled. During the summer vacation, I had the chance to return to my workshop and improve the design. The end result is seen in front of you – two devices combing mechanics and art, that would be used for the good of the students<\/em> in the course.”<\/p>\n\r\n
