America Makes says that it has congratulated the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) regarding its agreement with German 3D printing company Aconity3D to function as its North American base of operations.
UTEP’s campus includes the Keck Center, which offers a number of additive manufacturing (AM) technologies.
‘We can apply this economic development model to build other businesses around their technologies, recruit other 3D printing businesses to our region and create new businesses from our own 3D printing technologies coming out of UTEP,’ said Dr Ryan Wicker, a professor at the center.
