Located at UTEP's College of Engineering, the 6,100-square-foot W. M. Keck Center for 3D Innovation is home to several specialized laboratories.
The biomedical engineering facility includes labs for cardiovascular hemodynamics, tissue engineering and anatomical modeling. The manufacturing labs contain equipment for rapid prototyping and tooling, micro fabrication and advanced materials research.
Biomedical imaging, modeling and manufacturing develops processes by which accurate and individualized anatomic and physiological models are created from medical imaging data. As demonstrated in the above photo, advanced materials and manufacturing techniques are used to accurately simulate the anatomy of, for example, the human heart.
