manufacturing has been used for roughly 15 years, which was mostly used for rapidprototyping instead of full-scale manufacturing. Over the past few years, this has been changingand the true potential of AM is being realized. Making components that have internal geometriesand can still be a single component will bring entire assemblies into single parts, whilestrengthening them, and saving money on tooling, materials, and machining4. Manufacturing iscoming to a point to where the only limitations are the minds of designers and engineers. Withthese tools, a micro quadcopter frame will be designed with an internal porous frame that will beinstilled while still composed of one solid manufactured part that can then be tested and analyzedto discover if this

The initial face-to-face meetings wereessential to layout the expectations while smoothening cultural differences. In addition toelectronic emails and phone conversation, web-based meetings have been very effective for liveviewing while discussing of engineering documents (http://agilent.webex.com). Althoughlanguage barrier was a challenge for international collaboration, an open mind for cross-culturalunderstanding, tactfulness, and patience are necessary to overcome the issues. Minutes ofmeeting are essential to keep everyone in focus.The following result is part of the collaborative work of TAMU, CIDETEQ, and Agilent.Literature ReviewMicroECM
