Today we’re celebrating Dr @_rhiannonhunt our Project Manager on Transform_CE at Manchester Metropolitan Uni. TRANSFORM-CE is researching into turning single use plastic into new, valuable products using 3D-printing and intrusion-extrusion moulding technologies. #IWD2021 #ChooseToChallenge #IWD


The PrintCity: 3D, Innovate, Educate, Collaborate team innovates with the first CAD to 3D print to snow ❄️ workflow we've ever seen 😉 🥶 Snow mold printed on the UltiMaker S5 in Filamentive.

Check out the first edition of our PrintCity Round Up, recapping March activities! Everything from our first webinar with Markforged to our students creating VR environments using Unity3D (inactive) and the Oculus 👉 Meta Quest quest 2. ⬇️ printcity.mmu.ac.uk/printcity-mont… Manchester Metropolitan Uni Manchester Met Science and Engineering


This week to support EARTHDAY.ORG we’re celebrating the research conducted at PrintCity and Manchester Metropolitan Uni. We’re currently working on four fantastic funded research projects based on #CircularEconomy. Transform_CE Interreg North-West Europe CIRMAP Bioplastics H2020 Interreg NWE #sharepair @McrMetCE


We print things of all shapes and sizes, however, we’re always conscious about our impact on the environment. Wherever possible, we try to use filaments such as Filamentive and try to recycle waste ♻️ Manchester Metropolitan Uni @McrMetCE EARTHDAY.ORG #climatechange #ClimateAction #EarthDay


We’re proud to be working alongside companies such as Markforged to try and bridge the skills gap between education and industry. Fabricon Design are a great example of how SME’s can leverage programmes such as MadeSmarterUK. machinery.world/index.php/2021…

PrintCity: industry and academia combine to close the digital skills gap PrintCity: 3D, Innovate, Educate, Collaborate theengineer.co.uk/printcity-mark…

The latest edition of Met Magazine is OUT NOW!🎉 Featuring an interview with academy award nominee and alumnus, Steve Coogan, a sneak preview of School of Digital Arts and more on Manchester Poetry Library.📚 Read about our latest research, alumni stories and more here👉 mmu.ac.uk/metmagazine/.


Applications for our MSc in Industrial Digitalisation are now open. Emma Rothwell, Technical officer at PrintCity is fantastic example of how the MSc helped her to explore Additive Manufacturing within model making. youtu.be/Tzo7TQ7AHyM #study Manchester Metropolitan Uni Manchester Met Science and Engineering



As part of ground breaking #H2020 research project Bioplastics H2020, we are looking for regular users of plastic products to share their views on plastic alternatives.⬇️ forms.office.com/r/eBKVAyWXpk @McrMetCE Manchester Metropolitan Uni Manchester Met Science and Engineering #Sustainability #plastic #ClimateReport #environment


We've spent this afternoon discussing Interreg North-West Europe CIRMAP with the BBC World Service for a #CrowdScience episode about #recycling concrete. There are many steps to characterising the material before using it as a substitute for sand in mortar for #3Dprinting / #additivemanufacturing


Join Mark Chester alongside Formlabs and Additive-X next week to learn about Low Force Stereolithography on the Form 3 and 3L. Register for the webinar using the link below ⬇️ #3dprint #webinar #DigitalTransformation #AdditiveManufacturing formlabs.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

Interested in learning a new skill in 2022? At PrintCity we have a range of 3D printers accessible to students and staff at Manchester Metropolitan Uni including Formlabs, Markforged and UltiMaker.
