This exercise acted as the final exam for my Manufacturing Systems Course (TEL 393).
We were provided with plans for the challenge as well as a CAD file containing the exact dimensions of the "noodles". We were only allowed to pre-process one material, but we were allowed to plan and fabricate all of our jigs and fixtures ahead of time. We were limited during our production run to exactly one hour and had to manufacture 25 of the artifacts shown below.
