For the final course project, each studentdesigned and created his or her own silk scarf using the techniques learned in class.The scarves created by the students were outstanding and exhibited their willingness totry a new design. For example, one student wanted to create the illusion of a branch ofbamboo growing along the length of his scarf. He planned three different colors: abrown foundation representing the dirt, followed by yellow changing gradually to greenand finally blue. He used Shibori techniques to design the bamboo branch, and usedscraps of silk to determine the combination of mordant and dye to yield the shades hedesired.The students kept the scarves they dyed, so photos of them

Anelectric motor turns the auger which grabs the material to move it down the barrel. Prototype ofthis design and the 3D printer were fabricated and tested to determine proper functionality.The 3D printer and the recycling system are currently being used to: teach additive layermanufacturing and rapid prototyping to students enrolled in manufacturing courses; printprototypes for new, difficult to find or expensive parts for research/design projects; and recyclethe scrap ABS from the Cupcake 3D printer to a 3 mm filament and reuse it for printing newparts and prototypes

Our approach to teaching lean has used experiential learning as amethod of improving student understanding, as many others have done in various disciplines1-4.To this end we have augmented university classroom lectures with industry-based projects,recognizing that lab exercises are useful, but can have limited utility in demonstrating leanprinciples5. We have used this approach for a number of years in two graduate courses. Andmore recently we used this method in the context of an international internship in Cambodia,during the summer of 2004.

In addition to these factors, themechanics of micro-cutting is still a relatively new area, not well understood. In micro-cutting,there is no formal explanation of scaling effects (also referred to as “size effects”), for example,in the relationship between material removal rate and the specific cutting energy [5]. Thus, thereis a need for continued research in this area.Through funding provided by the U.S. Army, TACOM, Northern Illinois University (NIU)engineering and technology researchers developed a new generation low cost machine tool.
