Congratulations!

The first semester ME group presented their research for understanding and selecting ink-jet type technology for augmenting the BioPrinter features. We are looking forward to their successful integration of their solution this summer (summer 2014). 

Congratulations for a job well done!

The three senior groups in ME and CSE Departments sponsored by the MARS Lab for their senior design projects have successfully presented and defended their research work on Friday, May 2, 2014. The second semester ME group presented on the multi-material BioPrinter and the CSE group presented on custom software for multi-material additive manufacturing. The students in these groups have so much fun learnining and working on the BioPrinter and some of them are already volunteering to assist on the BioPrinter project during the summer and beyond – we are excited and we look forward to seeing some of you this summer and continue research on this exciting new field that is revolutionarizing manufacturing!

Ryan sucessfully defended his MS thesis Improving Scoliosis Rehabilitation on April 14, 2014 (wow 4-14-14)!.

Keep up the great work and the group is looking forward to your endevours.

Salman participated in UTA’s ACES 2014 symposium on March 26, 2014 with a poster on his research work titled Finite Element modeling of Descemet’s Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSAEK) surgery to improve surgical outcomes. Salman was awarded an honorable mention on the Graduate Poster Presentations. ACES awards web pagehttp://www.uta.edu/aces/awards.php.

Prashanth Ravi was awarded the Carrizo Oil & Gas, Inc. Graduate Research Fellowship for 2013-2014 at the College of Engineering awards baquet on February 21, 2014. This is a competitive award for first semester doctoral or doctoral bound students.

• The 3D BioPrinter group is on a roll! The successful interface of the hardware and software modules is opening up doors for research activities in many areas of additive manufacturing (aka 3D printing). Information will be uploaded and shared as appropriate.Since the majority of this group are high speed racing enthousiasts, all I can say to them is  Start Your Engines and Race! 
• The 3D BioPrinter project successfully printed their first single layer component using their first dispenser design based on FDM and PLA built material on Jan. 14, 2104 and a few days later they had real components – the two cups on the right. Congratulations!  
  They have been working hard to improve the module design, incorporate more capabilities on and experiment with the BioPrinter while having fun printing parts with it! 

Congratulations and keep up the great work!
