WELCOME TO THE 3D PRINTING & BIOPRINTING STATE-OF-THE-ART LAB

Committed to quality research, training, consultancy, and contract R&D.

Please browse our site to get a better idea of who we are and what we do.

RESEARCH & DISCOVERIES

The Facility hosts >20 Printers, including Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), Bioprinters, Digital Light Processing (DLP), Stereolithography (SLA), UV Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), Pellet, Laser, and Food 3D Printers. Including in-house prepared filaments & Bio-inks.

TRAINING & WORKSHOPS

We provide hands-on training courses and workshops (on request) on 3D printing and advanced characterisation. The 3D printing courses are suited to each level of operator.

CONSULTANCY AND R&D

Our Lab has significant expertise to offer to the pharmaceutical, healthcare and food industries, and provides consultancy and R&D services to a wide variety of sectors and for a wide range of materials, including advice in 3D Printing, materials, and design.
