NIT Andhra Pradesh holds 3D printing and design training for research scholars

The National Institute of Technology (NIT), Andhra Pradesh, is organising a five-day online training in ‘3D printing and design’ from July 26 to July 30, 2021. 

NIT Andhra Pradesh is working to nurture globally competent electrical engineers through quality education, research and innovation and develop cutting-edge technologies in the areas of three-dimensional printing and computer-aided design. 

Three-dimensional printing is a method of creating a three-dimensional object layer-by-layer using a computer created design CAD. It is an important tool for research and development, prototyping and design testing, therefore it is essential for scholars looking to pursue a career in manufacturing sectors to know the basics of 3D printing and design. 

Outcome envisaged from online training: 

• Awareness  on current and emerging 3D p rinting  applications in variety of industries   
• Enhance  the skill set and identify opportunities of 3D printing    
• CAD  of various physical models   
• Computer-aided  manufacturing  tools such  as  slicing for  3D  printing, and post processing methods 
• 3D  printer  machine maintenance and operation 
• Prototype  demonstration and hands-on experience   

The programme is being organised by the Department of Electrical Engineering and Centre for Research Innovation Incubation and Consultancy (CRIIC) at NIT Andhra Pradesh in collaboration with BITSILICA, Hyderabad.  

The Centre for Research Innovation Incubation and Consultancy (CRIIC) of NIT Andhra Pradesh aims to strengthen the research profile of the institute and acts as an interface for all research projects and consultancy works. BITSILICA is a semiconductor solutions startup established to provide niche VLSI design and verification solutions, automotive safety solutions and edge computing solutions and services to the semiconductor industry across the world. 

Prof CSP Rao, Director, NIT Andhra Pradesh, said, “3D printing or additive manufacturing technology is widely used in aerospace, defence and health equipment.” He described the evolution of 3D printing technology using practical examples. He also highlighted the biomaterials used to fabricate the biomedical parts and how bioink is used to create tissue-like structures.
