Concept Laser has partnered with Honeywell Aerospace and PADT to open a new additive manufacturing research center for 3D metal printing at Arizona State University (ASU). The research center is based at The Polytechnic Schools campus; the school is using the machines for various research and development activities including materials development and prototyping of complex mechanical and energy systems.
The University offers the only undergraduate manufacturing engineering degree in the state of Arizona, and is one of the 21 courses that are offered in the US. The research facility is 15,000 square feet and holds more than USD $2 million worth of polymer and metal additive manufacturing equipment. The lab is equipped with Concept Laser M2 cusing, and Mlab cusing machines, which are dedicated to 3D metal printing.
