Manufacturing
Injection Molding Demo
Students will explore how plastic parts are made by using an injection molding machine to create a take-home souvenir. This walk-up activity introduces participants to a common manufacturing process used to produce many everyday products, from small components to consumer goods. Through this hands-on experience, students will learn how material, heat, pressure, and mold design work together to form a finished part. Each participant will leave with a souvenir they helped create while gaining a better understanding of manufacturing, materials, and engineering design.
Tour the University of ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ Metal Additive Manufacturing Laboratory and discover how engineers use 3D printing to create precision metal components that can be difficult or impossible to manufacture using traditional methods.
Join us for an interactive tour of Dr. Bowlin’s Biomaterial and Regenerative Tissue Engineering Lab, where students will be introduced to how artificial blood vessels are created and why this work is important. During the tour, students will learn how we test the strength of these templates while designing them to be biodegradable and to avoid being attacked by the immune system. Students will also have the opportunity to see demonstrations of how the templates are made, view microscope images, and explore colorful imaging of living cells.
