The BAJA students will be engaged in the automotive field even they do not work in it. The overall experience has improved practical ability of some of the best theoretical students, also making them more interested in automotive engineering. This will encourage them to stay engaged in the area and continue to learn, especially with the help of being more practical and confident. 10. Have knowledge of contemporary issues. The BAJA team members receive two periodicals, one in Automotive and the other in Aerospace Engineering

IntroductionAdditive manufacturing (AM), more commonly known as 3D printing, is an advancedmanufacturing process that builds parts layer-by-layer based on the 3D model information createdby computer-aided design (CAD) software. Among many advantages, the ability to create complexshapes that other manufacturing technologies can not manufacture has attracted the attention ofmany researchers and manufacturers1. Today, the leading automotive, aerospace, military, andmedical manufacturers are taking advantage of 3D printing technologies by designing morecomplex, lightweight, high-performance products by integrating advanced

mechanical testing of 3D printed samples is an important addition to thetraditional engineering laboratory curriculum. In a rapidly evolving technological environment,3D printing has emerged as a transformative technology, reshaping the engineering andmanufacturing sectors. 3D printing has significantly impacted the manufacturing landscape dueto its cost-effectiveness, recyclability of materials, and the ability to fabricate intricate geometrieswith high resolution [1, 2, 3, 4]. The applications of additive manufacturing are widespread,encompassing fields such as medicinal delivery, aerospace, automotive systems, and construction.Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) stands out as the most prevalent method of 3D printing.
