About

The Swanson Center of Product Innovation is a full service product realization and fabrication facility located in G15 Benedum Hall within the Swanson School of Engineering. The facility has a full complement of both traditional machining technologies as well as state of the art additive manufacturing and reverse engineering tools to enable concept through production prototype validation of components and systems. A major educational feature of the center is a series of courses in product realization and entrepreneurship. These courses are offered at the senior level undergraduate or first level graduate engineering and science majors. These courses are offered as technical electives and are multidisciplinary in nature.
