This would actually be a really interesting project to learn what must be taken into account by the designer before handing off to the fabricator. I worked in a production plant briefly where Mechanical Engineers made CAD models to be fabricated by the in house shop. The first couple things they designed would often not take into account the fabrication nuances of the shop and thus, the shop could not make them.

Most college courses that I know of don't bother to teach the necessity of designing something that is both reliable and fabricate. The best designs come from a close relationship between engineer and technician.
