The Direct Digital
Manufacturing Laboratory directed by Professor Suman Das is
a part of the Woodruff School of Mechanical
Engineering and
the Georgia Tech Manufacturing
Institute. Our
research laboratories totaling over 3000 square feet of
space are instrumented with state-of-the-art equipment
and facilties to support our broad program in leading
edge Additive Manufacturing. Our labs are located in the
Manufacturing Related Disciplines Complex (MRDC)
building, home of the Woodruff School of Mechanical
Engineering and in the Callaway Manufacturing Building,
home of the Georgia Tech Manufacturing Institute.
