WarpingParts with large contiguous masses, and more specifically a rapid increase of cross-sectional areafrom lower to higher z heights cause problems in SLM. These parts tend to warp significantlyunless countermeasures are implemented. Most businesses that build large parts use post-buildheat treatments as a standard process to relieve internal stresses. Heat treatment is applied beforeeven removing the part from the build plate. Warping is hard to

. In these open-ended spaces, students experience uncertainty about projectgoals, roles and designs, and how learning paths take shape moment to moment is unclear, oftendiffering student to student.In project-based curricula, much is unknown, unspecified, and ambiguous, conceptually andrelationally. Learners must tolerate much of this ambiguity and select what and when they callattention to uncertainty – places where they see fault or limitation in their own or the group’sdesigns, knowledge, or plan. In this analysis we saw that when facing much uncertainty - oftenacross many aspects of a project - how students select what to bring attention to, and how theyrespond when uncertainty is raised by others, cannot be well predicted by the material

TheNASA Engineering Science and Technology model is a six-stage cyclical design processfeaturing the stages: 1) Ask, 2) Imagine, 3) Plan, 4) Create, 5) Test and 6) Improve [3].Students using the Atman or NASA model typically begin by identifying problems andconstraints to design around. In both, they collect information, consider design alternatives andfinally create and test a particular solution.
