GE, Clemson University Partner to Open New Additive Manufacturing Lab

On February 20, General Electric (GE) officially opened a new additive manufacturing lab under its strategic partnership with Clemson University.
The industrial conglomerate dedicated 1,000 square feet of space at its GE Power division’s Advanced Manufacturing Works facility in Greenville, South Carolina, to the lab, which houses three GE 3D printers that print both plastic and metal. One of the three printers uses GE Additive’s direct metal laser melting (DMLM) technology.
The facility is Clemson’s first additive manufacturing lab to be hosted by a corporate partner. The university’s Center for Advanced Manufacturing, however, will manage the lab, which will be available to Clemson faculty, staff, and students.
