I recently had the chance to visit the Cambridge University Riviera Racing team to document how they’re using Snapmaker machines in a real-world student engineering project.
The team is building a fully functional, student-designed boat and using 3D printing to prototype parts like:
- Steering wheel mounts
- Dashboard casings
- Structural clamps
- Propeller housings
The parts were designed in SolidWorks and sliced using Snapmaker Luban. After troubleshooting and refinement, the team took the boat for testing on the water at Grafham Lake!
