3D Printing at the School of Engineering, EPFL

David Atienza from the Embedded Systems Laboratory develops systems to monitor the heart rate of the pilot of Solar Impulse, using 3D printing.

Member of the Laboratory for Production Management and Processes (LGPP), Eric Boillat develops systems for 3D metal printers

Selective laser melting with steel powder

The multi-­‐jet modeling (MM) machine can combine different materials with diverse resistances (from opaque to transparent, etc.).

It is possible to print constructions at once

Bioprinting of cells

Selective laser melting

New 3D plateform

Amphibious salamander robots partly fabricated via 3D printers

Jamie Paik of EPFL's Reconfigurable Robotics Laboratory printed out a 3D model of a real scanned skull image. She used the model as a basis to develop a new kind of surgical tool.

Architecture students from the School of Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering have been using 3D printing for more than 10 years to build innovative and fanciful scale models.
