In the continual search for costeffectiveness in manufacturing we turn our focus to an attempt to reduce tooling cost byimproving the life of cutting inserts. There has been continued research conducted to increasecutter tool life with various applications of cutting fluids, speed and feed rates, and the use ofcoated cutters. One newer approach, cryogenic processing, has been promoted as an effectivemethod of extending the useful life of different cutting tools used in the manufacturing process.This research area provides an excellent opportunity to apply real life research into capstonedesign projects.

Two different technologies, fused deposition modeling (FDM) andfilm transfer imaging (FTI), were used to additively manufacture these parts, using a StratasysDimension and 3D Systems VFlash respectively. These technologies provided some significantadvantages in producing complex parts for the robot, but it did come with some limitations aswell. Several students started the project with the mainstream notion that additive manufacturingallowed effortless printing of any part you desired from a CAD file. Through both successes andfailures, they
