Laser or light beam technology with a triangulation principle is used to capture the geometric coordinates of the points on the object; the point cloud so collected is then converted into a solid model. The solid model can be used as a CAD model for visualization or directly be used in AM to reproduce the object.AM is growing in every sector of industry, applications are presented in aerospace, medical andauto industries. Case studies from different industries, safety and sustainability of the 3D printingare also included. Tentative schedule of the course is presented in Table 1. Table 1.

activity. The project allowed for students to experience the product development process beginning with a product specification and ending with the testing of an alpha prototype. Projects that only require conceptual design activities were rejected from further consideration because of the learning that would be lost if students were not required to construct, test, and evaluate a physical prototype. The prototyping process is also very rewarding for students to experience. Last, the project was selected as a good fit at the authors’ institution because it required content knowledge valued by many of the largest engineering departments in the college (e.g., mechanical engineering, electrical and computer engineering, aerospace engineering).
