PREAMBLE and OBJECTIVES

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.
