The motivations for us to work on the project are (1) 3D printing technology asnext industrial revolution has caught wide attention around the world. With the development ofthe technology, a custom part that would previously take a great deal of time and money for aprofessional manufacturer to produce can now be made much quicker at a very low cost.Particular for college engineering education, students can produce different innovative parts fortheir new designs for robots or unmanned aerial vehicles using a self-made

This course introduces project management skills via a curriculumemploying project-based learning. These skills include product design, resource planning,process planning and cost analysis, but the primary focus is in producing a design that ismanufacturable. The most recent offering of this course gives the student an option of lab seriesin which to develop the concepts of DFM. One series uses manual machining processes and theother uses Computer Numerical Control (CNC) manufacturing. Ideally each student can learnusing the method they are

The advent of 3D solid modeling and 3D printing hasreduced the cost of incorporating hands-on education to mechanical engineering classes forplastic components but has little application to metals commonly used in engineering design.This paper presents the use of a RapidCast process for a Mechanics of Materials class project toenable the design and testing of custom metal parts. The RapidCast process’ adaptation oftraditional casting techniques which replaces wax or foam with a plastic 3D printed model allowscomplex shapes to be designed, produced, and tested in a matter of days as a demonstrationtechnique.
