Using the 3D printing technique to convert your ideas to reality:

The popularity of 3D printing is driving a wave of self-maker movement. All people make and customize products. Everyone can have a small factory and everyone can become a maker, so it is called "self-maker". 3D printing is a technology based on layer-by-layer manufacturing (additive manufacturing), which produces continuous and multi-layered three-dimensional objects. Unlike traditional 2D printers that can only print flat patterns, 3D printing can complete a solid three-dimensional object. The principle is to heat the plastic and stack the planes layer by layer to form the shape we want. 3D printing is a technology that is accelerating into the mainstream market, and has been widely used in various industries, from automotive manufacturing, consumer products, medical and pharmaceutical industries, chemical materials, civil construction and even art and education applications. To respond to the trend of the times, cultivate students' creativity and train students to have innovative thinking, innovative R&D and entrepreneurial development capabilities, the department has established a 3D printing laboratory to encourage students across departments to study with diverse expertise.
