Partnering with Bambu Labs

Discovering the possibilities of AM

PrintCity, at Manchester Metropolitan University, is not a traditional 3D printing lab.

It’s a high-performance environment running 100+ machines daily where real deadlines matter and data drives continuous improvement.

In this case study, we explore how PrintCity:

• Supports companies in adopting additive manufacturing

• Uses data to optimise print success and reduce failures

• Trains students in real-world industrial conditions

More than a lab — a model for accelerating innovation.

Is your business ready to adopt 3D printing? Video podcast

In this episode of the Centre for Sustainable Innovation Podcast we're talking 3D printing! Our presenter Mirage Islam FRSA is joined by Mark Chester from the Centre for Digital Innovation, and Carl Diver Professor in Innovative Manufacturing.

In the conversation we cover the steps that businesses need to cover and the questions they need to ask before investing in and implementing 3D printing.

If you're interested in exploring innovations in 3D printing or other technologies, perhaps the Centre for Sustainable Innovation can help your business access the experts, resources and skills required to build a prototype or prepare your new innovation for market.
