Current Educational Institutes with an HT2 Printer
Grand Valley State University Adds GearBox HT2 Printer
Two industrial 3D printers were installed in the Shape Corp. Innovation Design Center, giving Grand Valley students opportunities to learn additive manufacturing (AM) and collaborate with area industrial partners to design and build parts or prototypes.
The new equipment also gives Grand Valley’s applied Medical Device Institute (aMDI) a second location. A unit of the Padnos College of Engineering and Computing, aMDI has space in the Cook-DeVos Center for Health Sciences. Money to purchase the 3D printers and related equipment came from the $1 million in federal appropriations Grand Valley received last year to expand aMDI’s capacity to better serve clients.
Supporting Ferris State’s New Additive Manufacturing Focus
Ferris has one of the leading Plastics Engineering programs in the USA and has a long history of innovation in this space. The university is adding Additive Manufacturing curricula to continue it’s leadership in advanced manufacturing technology.
Quote from Matt Howlett “We created this 3D printer to answer the question of how to enable the printing of higher-performance materials. Ferris has always been great for my family. I have my son who went here, and he has a family now,” said Howlett, president of 3DXTech, a leading supplier of carbon fiber reinforced 3D printing filaments. “I understand this technology and what it can do for students and really help bring up their level of understanding and education in this technology. When I could, I wanted to make sure I gave back to Ferris, so I donated one of the Gearbox HTG2 3D printers, which is now installed in the Additive Lab. The students now can coalesce around it and learn the technology better.”
