Abstract

The 3D-Printed Frames and Machines Activity was designed, tested, and finalized in the summer of 2022. The activity is designed to resemble a real-life problem to help students gain a deeper understanding of this subject in their Statics class. The activity utilizes parts from a previously made 3D-Printed Statics Modeling Kit, and new parts that were redesigned from the kit to create the activity. The parts were created in SolidWorks and were exported into Ultimaker Cura and printed on an Ender 3 Pro. The activity and students’ perception of the activity, which was utilized in fall 2022, is discussed in the current paper.
