Design and Rapid Prototyping Lab

The Design and Rapid Prototyping Lab at Purdue Polytechnic Institute New Albany offers students access to advanced engineering design and rapid prototyping tools and technologies, such as 3D printers, CNC machines, and robotics. It supports various courses in engineering technology (ET), manufacturing, and engineering design with a student-centered and learn-by-doing approach. The lab facilitates a strong use of active learning (e.g. project-based learning, experimental learning, inquiry-based learning, etc.) enabling students to bring their ideas to life and to improve professional (e.g. teamwork, problem-solving, critical thinking, etc.) and technical skills (e.g. CAD, programming, etc.).
