JCE-Mech 3D Printing Laboratory

Department of mechanical engineering of JCE in collaboration with ATTIS Systems, Hong

Kong, has setup a 3D Printing Laboratory.
The 3D Printing Laboratory has the tools to help you mediate between digital and physical
design. The laboratory is used for research, prototyping, product development, sampling,
small-scale production, training and education. We welcome engineers, designers, artists,
architectural designers, industrial professionals and any creative professionals who would like
to fabricate using either 2D vector or 3D computer files.
Our lab is equipped with FDM and SLA printers, 3D design and printing software. In addition
to providing access to these facility, we also conduct training on a variety of aspects of 3D
printing, including 3D design, scanning, and manufacturing. We promote digital making in
other forms as well, by bringing together open hardware and 3D printing, to create products
that have computing embedded in them. Our students range from undergraduates to
business executives. In addition, we provide custom 3D design and prototyping services.

Faculty Incharge : Dr. Anil Shirahatti , Prof. S. M. Kerur

Student Incharge : Mr. Gourav Jadhav, Mr. Koustubh Prem
Training on 3D Printing

We hold a series of training in small batches for diploma, undergraduate, postgraduate

students and working professionals. We also will be partnering with local high schools on 3D
printing programs.

Design and Printing Service

Whether you are looking to gain experience in the world of additive manufacturing using one
of our 3D printers or you have a project you would like to have 3D printed by professional
staff, the JCE-Mech 3D Printing Lab is here to help you with your 3D printing needs.

Its aim is to allow students to convert product design ideas into rapidly produced prototyped
products.

Our lab is equipped with 20 Ultimaker desktop 3D printers, 3D design software, and 3D scanning
devices. In addition to providing access to these tools, we also conduct training on a variety of
aspects of 3D printing, including 3D design, scanning, and manufacturing. We promote digital
making in other forms as well, by bringing together open hardware (arduinos) and 3D printing, to
create products that have computing embedded in them. Our students range from undergraduates
to business executives. In addition, we provide custom 3D design and prototyping services.

The Textile and Design Lab (TDL), established in 2006, is a unique research and
development centre at the Auckland University of Technology (AUT) that supports design
and innovation through the application of new fashion and textile technologies for the
purposes of research, prototyping, product development, sampling, small-scale production,
training and education. The labs key objectives are to build research capability, contribute to
the development and value creation of the NZ design and textile-related sectors and to
promote knowledge sharing opportunities through workshops, short courses, master classes,
symposia and conferences. The lab has invested in the expertise to utilise the latest Shima
Seiki Apex 3 knit design systems, electronic intarsia and seamless knitting technology, digital
textile and garment printing and an electronic felting machine. The lab is available to both
AUT and external students, designers, commercial businesses and research organisations.

The TDL is one of five creative labs that form the Labs Network, which is managed by
Colab for AUTs Faculty of Design and Creative Technologies.

The Digital Media Lab is located in Room 118 of the first floor of the Richter Library at the Coral
Gables campus of the University of Miami. We provide expert support and consultation in the use of
digital audio, video, and graphic design technology, as well as web development and image creation
techniques. With the wide variety of creative software installed on Media Lab workstations, our
large and small format printing services, and the available equipment loan program, we have
everything you need to create fresh and original digital content.

The 3D Printing Lab has the tools to help you mediate between digital and physical design. A
multitude of hardware and software technologies are combined in the 3D Lab including a
laser cutter and a variety of 3D Printers. We welcome designers, artists, architectural
designers, engineers, curious creatives and anyone else that would like to fabricate using
either 2D vector or 3D computer files.

The 3D Printing Lab provides the community with access to high-end technologies revolving
around computer modeling and visualization of multi-dimensional environments as they
apply to nearly any discipline. The Labs resources are available for students, faculty, staff
and external partners interested in the exploration of innovative ways for the communication
of information, the visualization of complex worlds and processes and the creative expression
of ideas.

The Institute for Manufacturing has added a new cutting-edge facility to its offering its very
own 3D printing laboratory.

The lab has been funded by an Engineering teaching grant to support Manufacturing
Engineering Tripos (MET) Design modules. Its aim is to allow students to convert product
design ideas into rapidly produced prototyped products.

Situated inside the IfMs Design Studio, the facility is composed of:

five MakerBot replicators, a type of 3D printer which prints on PLA (Polylactic acid),
a bioplastic material these can produce a small prototype in as little as 40 minutes,
straight from a USB device;
 a Denford laser cutter which can cut and engrave 2D objects;
a Formech vacuum former, used for 3D plastic forming to create bespoke packaging.

Thanks to these machines, plus a whole wall covered in traditional hand tools such as
screwdrivers and hammers, students will be able to produce and assemble complete prototype
products and packaging to support their Design projects.

The facility will provide a valued teaching resource to help students develop their design and
manufacturing skills. It is recognised that the manufacturing industry has a real need for a
workforce with 3D printing skills as more and more organisations are using these techniques
to produce prototypes and small parts.

While the 3D lab has been created to support the IfMs third-year undergraduate students, its
use will be extended to fourth-year METs, and postgraduate Industrial Systems,
Manufacturing and Management (ISMM) and PhD students will also be able to access it in
the future.

MIX Lab
The MIX Lab is our new interdisciplinary hub for transformative innovation.

MIX stands for Making and Innovating for X, where X is the unknown, that which exceeds
our grasp, the future, and the open-ended nature of creativity, good design and big problems.
The co-directors of MIX Lab are Iain Kerr, associate professor of Innovation Design, and
Jason Frasca, entrepreneurship instructor.

In August 2015 we installed 35 cloud-based 3D printing devices to create a 3D design and

printing lab that is one of the largest university-based 3D printing facilities in the U.S. and
one of the first housed in a school of business. This innovation lab, which is a resource for the
entire Montclair State community, will continue our overall goal of blurring the line where
the campus ends and the entrepreneurial community begins.

The MIX Lab is a resource for the entire university. The 35 3D printing devices are used by
all types of Montclair State students, but especially those pursuing our 9-credit 3D Printing
Certificate in Digitally Mediated Innovation Design. MIX Lab also offers rapid prototyping
services to the region's small and midsized manufacturing companies. We plan to hold a
series of workshops so community members can learn 3D design and printing, and we will
also be partnering with local high schools on 3D printing programs.

The MIX Lab is a catalytic agent for creativity, design and rapid prototyping to incubate
powerful real world outcomes across the campus and deep into the world at large.

Check out this Wired Jersey video about MIX Lab.

3D Printing Lab

In collaboration with the Applied Science & Technology Department of Saint Peters
University, we built a 3D Printing Lab located on the first floor of The OToole Library. Our
goals are to assist faculty in using this technology, to develop the curriculum, and to attract
more students into science professions.

The lab is currently equipped with one Makerbot Replicator & one Workstation. It offers the
resources of a full suite of 3D fabrication and modeling technologies to members of the Saint
Peters community: students (undergraduate and graduate), faculty, and staff.

Please contact Hao Zeng (Librarian) or Dr. Weidong Zhu (Applied Science & Technology
Department) for more information, instruction or help.
