The 3D printing lab is one of the country's most advanced 3D printing
superlabs (defined as employing high-end 3D printers of both PolyJet and
FDM technologies). The lab, which opened on June 22, features a suite of
advanced Stratasys 3D printers, including an industrial-grade Objet260
Connex multi-material 3D Printer, a Fortus 400mc Production 3D Printer,
two Dimension units, and over 40 MakerBot 3D Printers. The lab will be
open to the entire campus from engineering and art students, to English
and philosophy students, as well as educators. The lab will also serve
as a central 3D printing service center for the surrounding communities
and business, helping to grow the Hudson Valley economy.
"Our designation as a SMART lab is huge step for the HVAMC." Says
Dan
Freedman, Dean of the School of Science and Engineering and Director of
the HVAMC. "The combination of our unique focus at the interface of art,
engineering and science, and the recognition and support by the world's
leading manufacturer of 3D printers, will move us to an unparalleled
interdisciplinary educational experience, help us support regional
businesses, and give our faculty the tools and expertise to do
cutting-edge scholarship in art, engineering and design."
In cooperation with the Hudson Valley Economic Development Corporation,
a comprehensive resource for business in the area, the SMART Lab at SUNYNew Paltz shows the promise to attract new business and economic growth
to the Hudson Valley area. The Hudson Valley Economic Development
Corporation was instrumental in working with the College to plant the
seeds of additive manufacturing and mechanical engineering programs
currently available to all students, local businesses and community
members.
"We're continually impressed with the industry partnerships SUNY New
Paltz is engaged in. The investment they have made in industrial-grade
additive manufacturing equipment in the SMART Lab, combined with its
expert staff, is allowing increased access for all," says
Gina Scala,
director of global marketing, Stratasys Education "It's exciting to see
economic development for local industry and academic development
collide, creating fireworks of innovation and benefit for all."
