General information
From Concept to Prototype
Imagine you’re a designer and a customer approaches you with a project they need you to take from concept to prototype. In this online challenge you will accept the opportunity of creating an award for the new RECF Robotics Competition judged award: the 3D Printing and Fabrication Award. Through this challenge, you will learn the process from the concept to the final product—including brainstorming and CAD work—and put it all together in a portfolio ready to be presented to the customer. In addition, you need to create and submit the .stl file so the award can go into production. Will you be the one earning the job?
