Welcome to the University of Idaho 3D Imaging and Printing Lab

Located in the U of I's Integrated Research and Innovation Center, the 3D Imaging and Printing Lab features state-of-the-art 3D scanning and printing capabilities that take advantage of modern X-ray technology. The scanner and printer were purchased with funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) MRI program, Award 2019231, and the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust.

Questions about the lab? Please contact the Director, Tao Xing, Ph.D., P.E., Professor of Mechanical Engineering by email or by phone at: 208-885-9032
