ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING SYSTEM LAB
- Department of Manufacturing Engineering has the Additive Manufacturing (AM) facilitiy to built three-dimensional object from a computer-aided design (CAD) model, by successively adding materials in a layer-by-layer fashion.
- Available Material
1. PA 2200 (Bio compatible)
2. Glass filled PA (High stiffness and thermal resistance)
3. Alumide (Rigid and thermal resistance)
4. PA1101 (Functional components)
5. Prime Cast 101(investment casting patterns)
- This facility helps biomedical field to develop
1. Customized medical devices: custom-made prosthetics and orthotics.
2. Surgical Guides: Additive manufacturing can be used to create surgical guides that assist in complex surgeries. These guides are created based on the patient's CT or MRI scans, which can help surgeons to perform the surgery with greater precision and accuracy.
3. Training and Education: Additive manufacturing can also be used to create models for training and education purposes.
