Rapid Prototyping and 3D Printing Schools & Programs Directory

The Shape Deposition Manufacturing Laboratory conducts research into Shape Deposition Manufacturing (SDM), a solid freeform fabrication process that combines material deposition with CNC milling material removal processes; partner with Stanford University's Rapid Prototyping Laboratory. Computer Aided Manufacturing of Laminated Engineering Materials (CAM-LEM) has developed a system where laminae are cut from sheet stock, robotically assembled, and fired to fuse the joints; also developing a unique 4-axis laser cutting system to cut sloped edges for improving surface finish.

Solid-Freeform Fa b rication (SFF) – also known as Rapid Prototyping (RP) – technology allows 3D-printing of ar b itrarily shaped structures, directly from computer-aided design (CAD) data. SFF has traditionally b een used to produce only passive mechanical parts.

Mikro Printer: Wiener Wissenschaftler entwickeln kleinen 3D-Drucker - Golem.de

3D-Drucker sind nicht besonders handlich: Geräte wie der Matrix 300 des irischen Herstellers Mcor Technologies oder die Designjets von Hewlett-Packard haben eher die Ausmaße eines kleineren Möbelstücks. Das wollen Klaus Stadlmann und Markus Hatzenbichler von der Technischen Universität in Wien ändern: Sie haben einen handlichen und günstigen 3D-Drucker konstruiert.

Forscher der Universität im südenglischen Southampton um Andy Keane und Jim Scanlan haben ein unbemanntes Flugzeug (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, UAV) im Rapid-Prototyping-Verfahren hergestellt.
