UNI’s Additive Manufacturing Center Adds Robotic Machining
CEDAR FALLS, IA – The University of Northern Iowa Additive Manufacturing Center has received the first of three automated robotic machining cells. It will make the center the only university-based automated investment casting facility in the world, officials said.
The expansion brings together additive manufacturing technology with automated computer-controlled processing that will enable faster casting production. The cells will create a fully automated investment casting molding line integrated with the existing pattern printing technologies.
