ABSTRACT

The Wankel engine is a type of internal combustion engine that uses a rotary
design to convert fuel into mechanical energy. This project aims to use 3D printing
technology to develop a prototype of a Wankel engine. The project involves
designing the engine using computer-aided design software and manufacturing it
using 3D printing techniques.

The design includes various mechanical components, such as rotors, housings,

and bearings, which are printed and assembled to create a functional engine. The
Wankel engine's unique rotary design offers several advantages over traditional
piston engines, including higher power-to-weight ratios and smoother operation.
 The use of 3D printing technology allows for rapid prototyping and testing,
enabling faster iteration and design optimization. The project's objective is to
develop a working Wankel engine prototype using 3D printing, which can serve as
a platform for future research and development in the field of engine design.
