This paper focuses on the additive manufacturing of a prototype badminton shuttlecock skirt that was designed through computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The fabricated prototype weighs 3.81 g and has wall thickness of between 0.5 mm to 0.65 mm. The prototype was tested functionally in the wind tunn...
