NIAR Adds Metal 3D Printer and Other Equipment

This spring, 3DPrint.com was on site when Airbus and Dassault Systèmes became official residents of the Innovation Campus at Wichita State University (WSU) in Kansas, with a combined goal of innovation in the aerospace field. The grand opening marked a goal of a shared vision that began when Dassault first formed a partnership with WSU's National Institute for Aviation Research (NIAR) back in 2015. Now, teams from Dassault and Airbus Engineering have access to the multitude of resources on the 120-acre Innovation Campus, which includes a makerspace and laboratories. NIAR, which performs industry-funded structural testing for 3D printing materials and parts, recently added several new pieces of equipment, including a professional-grade metal additive manufacturing system that's housed in NIAR's Additive Manufacturing Lab and an industrial-scale digital x-ray and 3D computed tomography system.
