Under the background of emerging engineering education, cultivating the innovation and entrepreneurship abilities of engineering students can help them smoothly carry out their graduation projects and win competitive advantages in the job market. In the current context of Outcome Based Education (OBE), the talent training model for the Intelligent Manufacturing Engineering major lacks practical education on the integration of intelligent manufacturing technology and intelligent manufacturing theory in entrepreneurship and innovation. Graduates of traditional mechanical engineering majors find it difficult to adapt to the development trend of industrial intelligence in the employment environment, resulting in a mismatch between the number of applied talents trained by schools and the talents needed by enterprises. Therefore, how to cultivate applied talents for the intelligent manufacturing system is an urgent problem that needs to be solved in the training goal of intelligent manufacturing engineering professionals. To explore a new talent cultivation model for intelligent manufacturing engineering, this paper focuses on 3D printing technology in the basic course of intelligent manufacturing and uses a beetle's hind wing for reverse modeling teaching. The exploration of teaching reform in this course will enhance the application and practical abilities of students majoring in intelligent manufacturing engineering.
