Product Development and Prototyping Lab

Catalog description

Prerequisite(s): ENGR 2332 . The Lab reviews the process for product development from concept to prototypes and explores various aspects of prototyping. It also explores an integrated approach to additive manufacturing and reverse engineering. The course introduces basic operating procedures for Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) printers and gives instruction on repair, troubleshooting, and print optimization techniques. The laboratory examines the important relationships between 3D printing parameters and the final objects material properties. In addition, reverse engineering and rapid prototyping topics are covered.
