TU Delft Student News

Alumni from the DUT09, DUT10 and DUT11 year have the tradition to gift each other hand made presents for each member’s graduation from the TU Delft. Over time, these gifts became “slightly” over-engineered. This ‘Settlers of Catan’ board game is their latest creation.

The game is milled out of solid aluminium and completely DUT-themed with carbon, aluminium, bremsenspritz, structural adhesive and cable ties instead of the regular resources. Next to that it has 3D printed, magnetic car parts that snap into place instead of streets, settlements and cities.
