CT University develops In-house '3D Printer'

Ludhiana, October 27, 2022:  With a vision of having a 3D printer in every home in future, the Research and Innovation Centre for Excellence (RICE) in CT University developed an in-house 3D Printer. The team of students and faculty members has put different technologies all together to develop a refined design of 3D printer which can deliver high quality, composite ready performance in an efficiently compact size.

Dr. Inderjit Singh, Incharge of RICE Lab said “We have been working on this emerging technology from day one, we wanted to introduce our own in-house built machine, which our team made from the scratch. Students gets an opportunity not only to design their imaginations, but have them in their hands within few hours of 3D printing here in our Rapid Prototyping Lab.”

Moreover, the machine has a modular design with a heated bed and chamber, with a precision of 100 microns and is Industry 4.0 ready with many IoT features. Research and Innovation Centre for Excellence and Rapid Prototyping Lab offers ultra-modern Makerspace for the students of different domains, hosting additive manufacturing machinery, CNC Machines and high-quality hand tools. The team showcased complex designed models and parts which have been manufactured on the 3D printers.

Dr. Manbir Singh, Pro Chancellor, CTU said “3D printing opens up a whole new world of possibilities and brings imaginations of the future to life that were originally thought to be impossible” and congratulated the team.

Dr. Satish Kumar, Vice Chancellor, CTU said “We always encourage our students to innovate and turn their imaginations into realities through the power of CAD and the beauty of 3d Printing.” He congratulated the team.
