significant impact on the awareness of 3D design and modeling as apowerful and attainable skill among students in a widening assortment of majors. In turn agrowing demand can be expected for more centrally and generally accessible fabricationfacilities at Grand Valley.Notes 1.

SecurityAbstractPhysical security analysts have always sought to overcome challenges in security infrastructureusing novel approaches and new technology. One of these challenges is preset, mechanical lockmechanisms.1 3D printing technology provides a valuable tool for those interested in attacking orbypassing high-security locks. This technology can allow such practitioners to create keyblanks or replicas from key data such as physical key measurements or photographic evidence.IntroductionPreset, mechanical locks are generally vulnerable to a variety of attacks, but due to theenormity of designs and technologies in the world today, each lock typically requires a differenttechnique to exploit or bypass. For example, simple pin and wafer locks can be picked

MakerSpace on campus.A level zero block diagram of the current system iteration is shown below.Figure 1: Level 0 block diagram showing major inputs and outputs of the overall system. Amore detailed description is provided subsequently.Development Process: the Capstone Design CourseThe MakerSpace Badging System was developed a team project in a senior capstone designcourse in electrical and computer engineering. This section describes the course in which thesystem was developed. The highly structured capstone design course stretches over an entireyear with a half credit fall course focusing on student team creating multiple representations oftheir design followed by a full credit spring course where the design is realized. At Bucknell onecredit
, many other industries have been or are planning to introducerobots into their manufacturing processes.1 In the Pacific Northwest region several companies inaerospace, electronics, apparel, and commercial cookware have either introduced robots or ex-panded their use in recent years. As such, an introduction to robotics in the context of manufac-turing is becoming more important for students pursuing degrees in Manufacturing Engineering.There is, however, always a challenge when teaching robotics to find the correct balance betweenapplication and modeling. Many robotics courses taught in Electrical or Mechanical EngineeringDepartments have a tendency to emphasize modeling over application, but a well-prepared Man-ufacturing Engineer needs to
middle of the part for easy assembly to the vehicle. You can use any design software. Baker College has Creo 3.0, NX 9.0, Autodesk and SolidWorks software on our campus. You can also use a different software if you’re comfortable using it. Our Makerbot machines require an STL file, so after you finish your design please convert the file to STL. TURN IN: Three pictures of your design (ideally put these in one document), STL file. ndDUE: 2 Week, April 13, 2016 Car Cost Assignment: Develop a cost for Baker College to 3D print the chassis that you design in the Design Assignment. Room S132 should have MakerWare software that will tell you how much filament will be used to print the part. Your total cost should include (1) filament
instrument tobe produced more quickly, cheaply, and consistently.Design and Prototyping of Electronic FortepianoThe key mechanism in a fortepiano is quite complex (see Figure 1). The key action can bebroken down into several steps2. As the key is initially pressed there is a small amount of freeplay before the beak leather engages the pawl. As the key is further depressed, the hammer armis accelerated by the force exerted by the beak on the pawl. As the hammer is accelerating, thedamper is engaged and raised off the string. The next step is where the hammer is just below thestring and the beak leather disengages from the pawl, and momentum flings the hammer into thestring. The beak catches the front face of the pawl and the hammer is held against
- soldering iron, solder - heat shrink, electrical tape - Loctite ThreadlockerMaterials (per star) - 12V LED light string - push button switch - battery holder for A23 battery - A23 battery - 5 bolts - 10 nuts - rubber, grippy materialsBuild instructions 1. Create a template for your five-pointed star. This is easily found on the internet. You want the star to be big enough for a typical adult to press with one foot. 2. Cut out two of these stars from the plastic chair mat3. Cut out a star from the thick foam. If its colour is not what you want to have showing, cut another star out of some thinner, colourful foam. Hot glue the colourful foam on top of the other foam star.4. Cut a hole the size and shape of your switch
whatstudents will see in industry, providing the opportunity for students to become more well-rounded designers/engineers.As the AFL is a student-based operation, it employs a unique model that features a staff that ismostly comprised of students. A full-time staff supervisor with significant industry experiencein manufacturing is used to supervise the lab safety, train the student staff, and ensure efficientoperation of the lab. The student staff (graduate and undergraduate teaching assistants andvolunteers) then provide the primary interaction with the students using the lab. This staffdevelopment and skill set diversification model ensures the lab is able to efficiently handle awide range of student projects. Figure 1: The AFL featuring

1.0 3-D Printer. As part of the project scoping processthe design team produced a list of design specifications as shown in Figure1.In addition, the design team performed a “state of the technology assessment” and arrived at alist of desirable attributes for their new design: • Fusion temperature is important – provide heated build platform • Air flow and temperature around build platform is important – enclose and regulate air flow • Printing time – assess nozzle diameter and allow for adjustable fusion temperature • Open Source – a good selling point with other student groupsFigure 1: The design team's assessment of the Da Vinci 1.0 3-D printer specificationsStudent OutcomesCapstone projects are a hallmark of
