AB  - Manufacturing components is a crucial aspect of the active, hands-on learning experiences prevalent in Engineering Design courses. A broad spectrum of manufacturing options, including both additive manufacturing and conventional CNC machining equipment, is available to students in these courses. However, students may make poorly informed decisions when specifying component manufacturing processes and may exhibit fixations on popular manufacturing technologies. This can result in extended manufacturing lead times or excessive production costs that compromise students’ abilities to successfully complete their design projects.

To this end, the authors have developed a suite of tools for estimating differences in production times and costs for 3D printed and laser cut components. The efficacy of these tools for improving students’ specification of manufacturing processes has been through an observational study in which participants complete a series of three component design tasks, increasing in difficulty, that incorporate both CAD modeling and manufacturing process selection. Preliminary results indicate that introducing this tool suite to design course students leads to improvements in awareness of manufacturing resource requirements and alignment of manufacturing process selections with design project objectives and constraints.
