LYNX Additive Manufacturing (AM) Lab is located in NC1809 and managed by the Department of Mechanical Engineering at CU Denver. This student-run facility provides hands-on experience in 3D printing and digital fabrication for CU Denver students, faculty, and staff.
The AM Lab features a Print Farm with:
- 10 Prusa MK3 printers
- 2 Prusa XLs
- 10 Bambu A1s
- A Bambu P1S
- An Elegoo OrangeStorm Giga
- An Elegoo Saturn 4 SLA printer
We can 3D print multi-material and multi-color polymer parts with a size up to 800mm x 800mm x 1000mm. The lab also has a metal extrusion printer and a kiln for sintering metal green parts, enabling advanced fabrication capabilities. Furthermore, the lab provides 3D scanning and reverse engineering
- MECH 1025 – CAD
- MECH 2024 – Materials Science
- MECH 3035 – Design of Mechanical Elements
- MECH 4035/4045 – Senior Design
If you are interested in 3D printing, our department offers a senior and graduate level MECH 4031/5031 Additive Manufacturing course in the spring semester. This class is meticulously crafted to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of AM technologies. The curriculum covers a broad spectrum of topics, including:
- AM Fundamentals: Explore the printing characteristics, process planning, and cost analysis essential for successful AM implementation.
- Hands-On Workshops: Gain practical experience by operating state-of-the-art 3D printers, including the FFF, SLA, and metal material extrusion processes.
- Next-Generation Design Software: Access free education licenses and tutorials for cutting-edge design tools, enabling the creation of lattice structures, topology optimization, and field-driven designs.
