My project consists of how to construct designs using 3D
printers for engineering educational purposes focusing on machine parameters,
part tolerances, material properties, and troubleshooting print failures. This
week, I began assembling a scaled version of the AISC sculpture seen here. Every part of the design (minus the bolts) was 3D printed in an attempt to
mirror challenges such as hole, assembly, and connection tolerances faced by structural,
mechanical, and civil engineering disciplines. These details were subsequently
logged to help others when addressing similar issues regarding 3D prints.
