    • Partnering with students, researchers, industry and outsourcing vendors to co-create solutions that are innovative, technically sound, and economically viable.

 

3D Printing

3D printers enables product in digital CAD format to be built by laying down successive layers of material. The 3D printed physical products can be used as prototypes or engineering functional parts.

As a general guideline, user can select the best 3D printing process / 3D printer by referring to the intended Use of Model, Dimensional Tolerances, Minimum Layer Thickness (i.e. the smoothness of printed surface), Tensile Strength, Elongation to Break and Heat Deflection Temperature.

Please refer to the general guideline here.
