You will choose TWO of the above projects and design something in the CAD program of your choice (see below). You will hand-in both designs, but you will also submit ONE of the designs for 3D printing. You must show Mr. Hogg your design before submitting it for printing!

Some of the projects above are described in the 3D Printing Projects Book]. See Mr. Hogg for copies of the book.
