This project enriches the educational experience in three facets of the Manufacturing Systems Engineering and the Mechanical Engineering curricula. The addition of a Stereolithography Apparatus allows Polymer Processing, Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM), and Metal Casting Processes students (among others) to participate actively in multiple phases of a manufacturing system. Part design information along with mold design requirements, derived and gathered by Polymer Processing students, is fed to students of Computer Integrated Manufacturing. Working with the Polymer students, and equipped with SLA requirements, CIM students develop appropriate solid models for prototyping. Finally, metal casting students are provided with prototypes useful in developing permanent molds. Use of the new equipment extends through all levels of secondary and postsecondary education. Junior and senior level Mechanical and Manufacturing Systems Engineering students are provided with experiences integrating all aspects of rapid prototyping technology. The addition of SLA to GMrs Polymer Processing/Computer Integrated Manufacturing laboratories provides exposure manufacturing systems engineering to the students of GMI and inspiration in the area of Manufacturing Systems Engineering to young people considering further education in this field.

该项目丰富了制造系统工程和机械工程课程三个方面的教育经验。 光固化成型设备的增加允许聚合物加工，计算机集成制造（CIM）和金属铸造工艺的学生（除其他外）积极参与制造系统的多个阶段。 零件设计信息沿着模具设计要求，由聚合物加工专业的学生导出和收集，并提供给计算机集成制造专业的学生。 与Polymer学生合作，并满足SLA要求，CIM学生开发适当的实体模型用于原型制作。 最后，为金属铸造学生提供了在开发永久模具中有用的原型。 新设备的使用遍及中学和中学后各级教育。 初级和高级机械和制造系统工程专业的学生将获得整合快速成型技术各个方面的经验。 SLA的添加到GMRS聚合物加工/计算机集成制造实验室提供了接触制造系统工程GMI的学生和制造系统工程领域的灵感，以考虑在这一领域继续教育的年轻人。
