With technological advances in printingand copying, the process of making books became affordable even at a small scale. Thus, abook-making laboratory exercise is developed and implemented as a part of the Engineering ofManufacturing Processes course offered in industrial engineering and mechatronics engineeringprograms at Colorado State University - Pueblo. In one of the lab exercises, each studentproduces a softbound

Known as G-code, this programming language is based on the Cartesiancoordinate system (X, Y, Z), which is used by a variety of other machining and manufacturingprocesses. This allows implementing other technologies, such as laser engraving and coordinatemeasuring (CMM), on the same machine. However, research showed that in order to have laserengraving capability, an exhaust system and a casing were needed to get rid of potentially toxicfumes emitted from the laser and burning material, and to enclose the working area, respectively.CMM capabilities were also halted due to the high cost of a single touching probe.Design Procedure Basic engineering design process was followed, implying that a design

AccreditationBoard for Engineering and Technology (ABET) states this in their 2016-2017 General Criterionunder the Criterion 7 for Facilities as given below. An educational space such as the one for the3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing is a good example satisfying multiple requirementslisted in Criterion 7 with its modern tools and equipment, reconfigurable/flexible space
