Driving the Additive Manufacturing Revolution

Located at The University of Texas at El Paso, the Keck Center is a unique multidisciplinary research facility focused on the use and development Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies with primary focus areas in AM Technology Development, Engineered and Structured Materials, and Advanced AM Applications.

 

Research


 

Additive Manufacturing technology allows us to take a computer-aided design (CAD) of an object and quickly create a 3D model, mold, or functional part by precisely building layers of material. It is an exciting technology that explores new worlds of research, limited only by the imagination.


Facilities


 

The W. M. Keck Center for 3D Innovation, a unique multidisciplinary research facility that occupies more than 36,820 square feet at UTEP, houses more than $8 million in research infrastructure, including over 100 advanced manufacturing systems. The center focuses on additive manufacturing technology development, engineered and structured materials, and advanced AM applications, with combined facilities for advanced manufacturing, metrology and reverse engineering, and materials characterization and testing.

In August 2015, UTEP was selected as the first satellite center of America Makes. The goal of America Makes is to expand its current regional, industrial, and technological footprint while further maximizing the reach and capabilities of this satellite center through enhanced collaboration. A ribbon cutting ceremony hosted The Honorable Penny Pritzker, U.S. Secretary of Commerce.
