A growing number of institutions have started investing on 3-D printers of variouskinds and integrate them into their engineering or technology education curriculum throughoutsystematic coursework that focuses on the main principles of the technology, so that theirstudents can receive instruction and experience on the design principles for 3-D printing, properselection of printing materials as well as proper operation techniques of the 3-D printingmachines and corresponding modeling and slicing software tools [5].This paper presents one such effort of integrating 3-D printing technology into
