Narrative

HBOI is a research institute where students rely on sophisticated technologies to complete their research projects. However, the students are often dependent on workshop personnel to design and construct their research ideas.  A better instructional scenario, and one endorsed by researchers, technicians and students, is to have access to design software and a 3D printer to create prototypes for design testing.  As suggested by the research faculty, if the printer is capable of printing with hard plastic or aluminum, the design could move from prototype to actual project components. This improved process would be a better learning and design experience and would reduce project time and costs.
