So the equipment that we have in here covers a broad
range of the technology available within additive manufacturing and 3D printing.
So we've got very much the sort of hobbyist
end of it which the students will engage with and get very hands on.
It's good fun, keeps them engaged in their studies.
They enjoy it.
It's the sort of thing they can
we can buy one of these and have them have them at home,
but we then teach them some of the more advanced techniques,
like the polyjet printing and some of the stereolithography.
And this is very much sort of industry led and industry level technology.
It's what they'll see when they go out into their careers.
Additive manufacturing is rapidly growing within the industry
and will definitely form a large part of the
manufacturing over the next 10 to 20 years.
So it's ideal for the engineering students.
