Engineering

Registration for camps opens January 15, 2025.

In collaboration with

Are you ready to identify a business and design need in the medical, industrial, or consumer markets and use additive manufacturing to develop your solution? Challenge yourself in this engaging, high-stakes camp! Guided by an expert instructor, you will focus on a specific product. Working in teams of 3-5, you will create a process-oriented business and engineering design plan that integrates product design and fabrication.

We will start the camp with an immersive two-day training session for your team to learn CAD and CAM. Then, you will put your knowledge into practice during an intensive two-and-a-half-day Hackathon, where you will develop a design concept and 3D print additive manufacturing parts for your product. Finally, you will present your product idea, engineering design, and business plan during the final pitch.
