About Laboratory
The 3D printing laboratory is a modern research facility for product development and manufacturing methodology. Additive Manufacturing (which is also often referred to as 3D printing) is a term referring to a range of layer-upon-layer manufacturing technologies, used for both prototyping and manufacturing purposes. 3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file. The creation of a 3D printed object is achieved using additive processes. In an additive process an object is created by laying down successive layers of material until the object is created. Each of these layers can be seen as a thinly sliced cross-section of the object. 3D printing is the opposite of subtractive manufacturing which is cutting out / hollowing out a piece of metal or plastic with for instance a milling machine. 3D printing enables you to produce complex shapes using less material than traditional manufacturing methods.
The lab is aimed at giving exposure and enhancing the knowledge and skills of engineers involved in the operation use of 3D Scanners, 3D Printers, CAD packages and for those who want to provide training to others in this area.
