The corrugated metal strip the team made was not fit for the
track, thus the team sent out several quotes to nearly 10 companies
that sell customizable metal parts. It was Thanksgiving Week, there were no shipping and other services until Monday of the next week. However, there was no reply from these
companies.
The
team designed a 3D model for one segment of the replacement of the corrugated
metal strip. The design was shown in figure 1. The price for 3D printing the
segment with stainless steel in order to cover the whole track was determined
to be about $400. However, since there was no offering price from any companies
for bending a corrugated metal strip with the team’s original design. The 3D
printing price cannot be evaluated or compared.
