The University of Miamis (UM) College of Engineering has opened a Johnson & Johnson (J&J) 3D Printing Center in Coral Gables, Florida. It will serve as a location for joint research, materials development and the testing of 3D printing technologies and processes.
The 5,850-square-foot facility will be home to additive manufacturing equipment, including two 3D metal printers, one to support stainless steel and the other titanium powder, and ten MakerBot platforms.
UM faculty are hoping the facility, which they are dubbing a collaboratory due to J&Js support, will help to revolutionize the way engineering is taught at the university.
