AB  -           Design and Fabrication of Electric Go-kart Using 3D PrintingMost engineering colleges have been providing outdated technologies in current high technologyera. Engineering students experience lack of next step to support theories which they areexposed in classes. For example, visualization is one of the critical validation methods ofengineering design, where current three Dimensions (3D) CAD modeling no longer satisfiestheir desires. However, advent of affordable 3D printers enables engineering colleges to provideextra tools of hands-on activity capabilities to their engineering students in theirengineering/technology courses and projects. This also leads them to the joys of product designby enabling them to experience at first-hand, an entire product design cycle in a few hours,students will have better mindset for learning.3D printers provides hands on approach where students can physically evaluate their designs andre-design, if necessary, to create parts that are not only functional but prototypes for parts thatcan be made from other materials. Designing go-kart can enables the students to specifyappropriate manufacturing processes for the fabrication of mechanical components and fabricatemechanical components using appropriate tools. 3D printers are already used in Introduction toVirtual Automation and can be incorporated into courses such as Manufacturing Process,Parametric Computer Aided Design and Cooperative Education & Design Projects.This paper presents how to bring current high technologies in engineering classes with the use of3D printers in design and fabrication of electric go-kart parts. Students in MechanicalEngineering Technology Club with interests in automotive technology as well as manufacturingtechnology were given the opportunities to design and build electrically powered go-kart to learnproduct design, prototyping and manufacturing.Students whom have completed courses in 3D CAD modeling and rapid prototyping usedSolidWorks CAD program to first design go-kart body parts and then learned to print the partsusing MakerBot Replicator 3D printers. This allows the students to quickly check for designissues such as fitment, interference, and stiffness of the parts before finalizing their designs.
