, and the low to nonexistent availability of replacements. Additionally, older machineparts tended to be single-made, versus mass produced, which further complicates finding anappropriate replacement. This is a distinct problem when dealing with ageing machines that arestill in use, but cannot be easily fixed. This paper presents an example of how reverseengineering, modeling, and prototyping using a Maker Space may be employed to generate a partfor an ageing steam locomotive. To further student learning of reverse engineering andmodeling, this project was additionally used to fulfill and Honor’s Contract in an introductory3D constraint-based modeling course.1To graduate with an Honors diploma, students at Western Carolina University must
