The winning challenge

From bottleneck to autonomous flow.

The team studied how additive-manufacturing farms lose valuable production time between prints. The answer became RoboRowdy: an autonomous assistant designed around the full operating workflow.

01

Discover

Map operators, failure points, constraints, and the real production environment.

02

Design

Use collaborative CAD, simulation, and immersive review to evaluate concepts sooner.

03

Demonstrate

Communicate the technical system, business impact, sustainability value, and path to deployment.

Winning SIDC team

One system needed many disciplines.

The official eight-student project roster is shown with each person’s RoboRowdy responsibility—not their organization officer title.
