The inaugural ASME Innovative Additive Manufacturing


 
3D (IAM3D) Challenge is designed to give mechanical and multi-disciplinary undergraduate students around the world an opportunity to re-engineer existing products or create new designs that minimize energy consumption and/or improve energy efficiency. Students will showcase their creativity by demonstrating the value added through their ingenuity, application of sound engineering design principles,
and leveraging Additive Manufacturing technology to address a broad spectrum of industrial, manufacturing, and humanitarian challenges.
A functional prototype of the top 30 designs (as chosen by a panel of judges) will be printed to the submitted design specifications and those students will be invited to present their designs and business case to panel of judges at the ASME 2014 International Mechanical Engineering Congress & Exposition (IMECE) in Montreal, Canada.
 
Who Can Enter?
Mechanical Engineering/ME and Multidisciplinary/EngineeringTechnology undergraduate students worldwide. Enter as an individual or as part of a team (no more than 3 student team members allowed).Each individual or team is required to have a faculty advisor sign off on their project.
Design Entry Process
  • Register at: ASME Submitables
  • Student/Team (no more than 3 students per team) will submit the following:
    • Cover sheet
    • STL files and source files from any CAD program
    • An image of the current product design and a detailed description of the changes
    • Business case (5 pages or less): justification of the product redesign, value added as measured by reduced (i) time to produce, (ii) cost impact, (iii) sustainability, (iv) energy consumption or renewable energy generation, (v) reduced materials and (vi) promoting green design
  • Judges will choose the top 30 semi-finalists to assemble their design, showcase their functional prototype, and compete in a 10 minute verbal presentation with additional 5 minutes reserved for Q & A at the 2014 IMECE Conference in Montreal. The semi-finalists team will receive $1500 for travel expenses, and a per diem allowance for food and hotel.
