Metal Additive Manufacturing Lab

3D design into metallic parts

3D printing revolutionizes industrial manufacturing and offers new opportunities for research and development. In the new 3D metal printing laboratory of the University of Vaasa: the Metal Additive Manufacturing Lab, digital 3D models are printed layer by layer directly into finished metal parts. The range of 3D printing possibilities is wide: from simple spare parts to very complex and geometrically demanding components. 3D printing is also known as additive manufacturing (AM).
