Research Projects

The AddLab also provides a unique opportunity for multidisciplinary collaboration among students from different fields, such as Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, Computer Science, and Architecture & Design.

Here are a few projects that have been developed:

Mortar Tube
The mortar tube was designed using additive manufacturing for the U.S. Army’s Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC). 

Multispectral Cameras
Funded by the Office of Justice Programs (National Institute of Justice), the goal of this project is to develop multispectral imaging cameras for forensic crime scene investigations and agriculture. 

Helicopter
The Helicopter was designed to demonstrate the potential to add a real-time camera streaming system (with remote desktop availability), night vision, and multiple sensory devices, such as a temperature sensor, to existing helicopters in operation.

Polar Bear Tank
The Tank, dubbed the "Polar Bear" because of its white plastic color, was designed to demonstrate the potential of using additive manufacturing to create an operational tank that can navigate different terrains, fire pellets, and provide a real-time camera streaming service with remote desktop.

Modular Exploratory Drone Fleet
The Modular Exploratory Drone Fleet is a drone arsenal designed for deep cave exploration and operations.
