AB  - 3D-printing, an additive manufacturing method, involves layer-by-layer deposition of materials. Unlike traditionally manufactured materials, the mechanical strength of 3D-printed structures is highly dependent on the printing orientation due to the weak interface between deposited layers. Two five-week long summer research projects were designed and implemented to explore mechanical anisotropy, engaging teams of undergraduate mechanical engineering students at different stages of their college degree with diverse technical maturity. Research teams were tasked with providing 3D-printing design guidance to minimize unexpected failure, which involves activities from developing experiments within resource constraints, acquiring measurement data, and conducting statistical analysis. Through assessing potential failure modes and iterations in specimen-test designs, the research projects provided an effective platform to allow hands-on learning experience where students used various course knowledge in mechanics, probability/statistics, and finite element modeling to achieve the objective. In this paper, we present how the mechanical integrity of 3D-printed structures depends on the printing orientation and its implications in predicting failure probability under mass production. Also, considerations and implementation of the intensive and immersive summer research programs in enriching engineering curriculum will be discussed for further development and adaptation.
