AM, which is well known as three-dimensional (3D) printing,manufactures 3D geometries by joining material layer-by-layer [10]. The additive manufacturingsystem was introduced in the late 1980s, and since that time, there have been tremendous AMadvancements. In 1984, Chuck Hull of the 3D Systems Corporation filed a patent for astereolithographic process [11], which attracted the world’s interest and created a booming timefor 3D printing. At present, 3D printing is used generally by consumer communities and the media torepresent a wide variety of printing

Meeting this challengecoupled with a fascination with aerospace has led one of the authors to participate in aseries of summer faculty experiences with the space agency. Several of theseopportunities were with programs coordinated through ASEE and have been vitallyimportant in development and also offering opportunity for students.

The authenticity of theexperience is beyond question, in that students ride home aided by the creative output of theirpersonal efforts. However, scaling the project beyond the pilot scale will require significantamount of staffing, space and material resources. A creative funding and staffing mechanism forthe project will enable the benefits to be broadly realized. Furthermore, the bicycle may also bean ideal vehicle for introducing various other engineering fields such as structures, dynamics,materials, etc. on a hands-on basis in an effective and authentic manner.
