C-3DPAC Competition 2024
California State University, Los Angeles (Cal State LA) annual CSU 3D-Printed Fixed-Wing Aircraft Competition (C-3DPAC) at the Jesse Owens Track and Field Complex on campus. In this competition, students design and fabricate airplanes using 3D printing technology. The planes need to be lightweight, and the designs need to maximize performance given manufacturing and material constraints- a great opportunity to leverage modern digital manufacturing technologies. Student challenges include: Develop a lightweight, 3D printable airframe, Integrate design and manufacturing to maximize performance, Design within the 3D printing process and material constraints, Leverage direct digital manufacturing technologies.
