Given this issue, this work aims to examine the students' spatialvisualization skills development using state-of-the-art Mixed Reality (MR) technology. The goalis to utilize the features and functionalities of MR to design and implement an interactive MRmodule that allows for developing engineering students’ spatial visualization skills, integrate themodule into Fluid Power laboratories, and conduct a research study to test and examine thedevelopment of the

One crucial task is to teach students how to use moderntechnology to evaluate the quality of AM parts because AM has not reached the point of competingwith traditional manufacturing in terms of surface finish and repeatability. Moreover, the printedparts are often treated as black boxes with invisible defects, such as pores and cracks. Such non-transparency significantly challenges the qualification and certification of additively manufacturedparts.
