Additive Manufacturing Studio
The state of the art Additive Manufacturing Studio allows TDI to support the manufacturing industry with building 3D prototype models from a variety of materials and new scanning capabilities.
K-State Technology Development Institute was awarded a retooling grant as part of the CARES Act Recovery Assistance program through the U.S. Department of Commerce. As part of this grant, TDI was able to purchase a variety of additive manufacturing equipment to enhance and expand our capabilities:
