The EdTech Incubator’s (ETI) 3D Printing Lab is now equipped with 18 upgraded resin printers and one filament printer. With new and enhanced capabilities, you can bring your imagination to reality. This upgraded equipment enhances our printing capabilities and supports the ongoing commitment the ETI has to innovation and research.

Students practicing 3D printing

In June, the EdTech Incubator led immersive workshops on virtual reality (VR) simulations and 3D printing technologies. These events aimed to familiarize undergraduates and high school students with tools that are now being used in the medical field.

Dr. Nassani debriefs with dental students after class

Dr. Leonardo Nassani, DMD, MBA, assistant professor at The Ohio State University College of Dentistry, has a proven formula for effectively integrating multiple EdTech Incubator (ETI) technology zones into his Operative Dentistry 4 course. As part of the course, dental students design dental onlays in a dentistry lab and then learn how to convert their designs into 3D printer-compatible files in the ETI's computer lab.

The College of Dentistry here at OSU has once again collaborated with the ETI’s 3D Printing Lab for its “Operative Dentistry 4” course. The ETI was able to further assist Dr. Leo Nassani and his 120 students with the process and design of dental onlays which is essentially a cap that helps restore the structure of teeth after damage.
