Project MFG’s Additive Manufacturing competition challenges teams and showcases the latest in 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing.

Project MFG’s Additive Manufacturing competition tests skills related to the additive manufacturing process, from design, economics, and change orders to slicing, post-processing, and assembly.
 
Teams mirror real workplace dynamics in a competitive setting, fostering team interdependence, time and budget constraints, and promoting strategic “production” approaches.

Project MFG competitions are based on the design, manufacturing, assembly, and testing of a “product” by teams of multi-disciplinary specialists. It is a tournament-style event in which teams of students compete against one another to complete a trade project.
