This page is part of the 2016 Principia course ENGR242: 3-D Printing TechnologyIt's open edit now, so feel free to improve it.

Assignment[edit | edit source]

1. Identify scientific/engineering lab need on campus for a 3D printable substitute for existing or planned purchase
2. Meet with users to determine exact needs/acquire funds/components for multipart equipment
3. Design 3D printable components with OS CAD packages
4. Open NIH 3DP account and post STL under the custom labware section, include all source files from OS CAD package, BOM, directions, explanation of what it is and a price estimate for a commercial equivalent (may also post on your Appropedia page)
5. Print component and bring to class
6. Add picture and link to NIH in gallery and "savings per replica" and a hyperlink to cost source on Appropedia below.
