Traditional manufacturing techniques, such as injection molding and forging,involve fixed molds or dies that are expensive and present limitations to the 3D shapes that canbe fabricated. In 3DP, no molds or dies are required. Parts are designed using a computer-aideddesign (CAD) program and then the digital part file is loaded into a slicer program that preparesthe part file for printing on a 3D printer. From idea

Thus, our university has centered its attention on investigating, applying, improving anddesigning new active learning methodologies. Examples of such methodologies are: The MathOperatory Skills Laboratory (MOSL), introduced in [2], as a remedial mathematics course forfreshmen engineering students; and, the Guided-Lecture Team Based Learning (GL-TBL)targeted to teach mathematics

These examples will reveal the advantage of moment evaluation about a point that isdifferent from the mass center of the body. When the method is properly applied, the associatedeffort is typically less involved than is experienced in the traditional practices because locatingthe position and assessing the motion of the mass center is often challenging in many problems.Some alternative forms of the moments-of-forces/couples equation for the rotational dynamics ofa rigid body, which is frequently called Euler’s equation in the literature, may be found in [1–3].The author

Here position analysis is taken to mean 1)finding the two remaining unknown angles on the linkage with an input angle given and 2)finding the path of a point on the linkage once all angles are known. The efficiency of positionanalysis has taken on increasing importance in recent years with the widespread use of pathoptimization software for robotic and mechanism design applications.Kinematicians have developed a variety of methods for conducting position analysis, but thesolutions presented in the literature fall into two general families: 1. The angle between the coupler and the rocker is found using the law of cosines. Once this is known, the coupler and rocker angles are found using some combination of the laws of
