UMass Lowell will resume on-campus instruction, research and campus life for Fall 2020. View the plan for more info.

Researchers

Group photo of SHAP3D members taken in Fall 2019. SHAP3D is a collaboration between the University of Massachusetts Lowell, University of Connecticut and Georgia Institute of Technology to create an National Science Foundation 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
