PREAMBLE
The state-of-the art Center for Product Design, Development and Additive Manufacturing established in the year 2019 is an extension of ‘Center for
Prototyping and Testing of Industrial Products (CPTIP)’ which was established in the
year 2009 at University College of Engineering, Osmania University with a fund sanctioned by MHRD, Govt. of India. The Selective Laser
Sintering (SLS) based Rapid Prototyping (RP) system with specialised software
and hardware for advanced modeling and analysis was procured under this centre.
This prototyping system is first of its kind in A.P. and first in India with
regard to accuracy,in the year 2019 polyjet 3D printer has been procured in this center. The center is providing product development and prototyping
facilities to B.E, M.E./M.Tech students and Ph.D scholars. Apart from above,
the center is also actively involved in doing consultancy projects by providing
prototyping facilities to prestigious defence labs such as DMRL, DRDL and
industrial firms like GE, Mahindra Satyam, Satyam-Venture, Analogies Tech.
India Ltd., C2P, Models India, Transcend etc. The centre is also actively
involved in serving the society by helping doctors in making prototypes for
pre-planning surgery of complex operations.
OBJECTIVES
Ø To conduct research in the
frontier areas of Rapid Prototyping and Product Development covering the
state-of-the art technologies.
Ø To provide prototyping facilities to B.E,
M.E./M.Tech students and Ph.D scholars for doing their project/research works.
Ø To execute sponsored and
consultancy projects thus improving industry-institute interaction.
Ø To provide prototyping facilities
to medical professionals by building prototype models that will help in
pre-planning for surgeries involving complex operations.
Ø To conduct short term training
courses, conferences, workshops and seminars in the broad area of Rapid
Prototyping and e-Manufacturing that will help students/faculty/ in acquiring
new skills in this area.
