I would call them late adopters with Carnegie Mellon, University of Dayton and Clemson as first adopters! History matters and university of Nottingham also first adopter!

A question about the standing of Penn State in the 3D printing universe.

 

I’ve received the following description: “Penn State has developed into one of the premier universities related to 3D research and teaching. We have about 102 or so 3D printers on campus, ranging from $500 open source Rep Raps to $1.5M metal 3D printers. Our list serve is about 180 people, and we have at least eight 3D printing classes focusing on processes, design, materials, etc. We are also in the process of creating an MS program in Additive Manufacturing & Design that engages five departments in two colleges.”

 

That sounds pretty impressive. Are there any universities in the world that top that? I wonder if, instead of “one of the premier universities,” the description should be “the premier university.”

 

Anyone here know current university facilities well enough to comment on that?
