Model early, model often, and pass the prototype around. Despite the lifelike renderings of 3D CAD models, there are intangibles in designs that cannot be conveyed through a computer monitor. Just ...

UB biomedical engineers have acquired a rapid-prototyping machine to aid their groundbreaking efforts to manufacture living tissues and organs, and fabricate customized implants and prostheses, among ...

Robust testing and evaluation processes are important for learning from both the successes and the failures in prototype development. Dr. John Granier, chief engineer of munitions and energetics at ...

Something that becomes abundantly clear as you progress through the senior design project is that an idea “on paper” often does not fully translate physically in the prototyping phase. Because at this ...
