SHAP3D is a collaboration between the University of Massachusetts Lowell (UML), University of Connecticut, Arizona State University (ASU) and Georgia Institute of Technology to create a National Science Foundation Industry-University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) focused on 3D printing. The Center's work encompasses many different additive printing/manufacturing methods and will enable:
- rational design and creation of new material feedstocks
- understanding the material properties, protocols, and design rules used in 3D printing
- developing new 3D printing methods for novel materials and composites
In an Industry-University Cooperative Research Centers (I/UCRC), National Science Foundation (NSF)SF funding and pooled member fees are used to perform pre-competitive research. University faculty and students conduct the industry-defined research projects. Industry members have access to this research to expedite commercialization of new materials, printing methods, and products.
