Students created the parts using 3-D computer modeling software. After modeling was complete, the parts were printed using a 3-D printer. The students then assembled the parts into a full-size working prototype. On April 25, students presented their drawings and working prototypes to NASA personnel at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville.
