who wishto implement these technologies in their teaching and learning. Furthermore, the extant literatureoften fails to convey the plans and details necessary to replicate or expand upon studies in thisline of research, as detailed descriptions of the FDM tooling solutions used in variousexperiments are not often clearly described in an easily reproducible way. This paper (poster)presents the results of an engineering technology student capstone project that sought to developa low-cost, flexible, and modular end-of-arm 3D printing tool that can ultimately be used todemonstrate fused deposition modeling (FDM) concepts using an industrial robot. To achievethis goal, students considered which, if any, widely available desktop FDM components
