Iris Rivero, an engineering professor at RIT, has found that compatible combinations of polymers and biomaterials can be successfully used to fabricate “scaffolds,” 3D-printed structures that signal the body to begin its own tissue regrowth. This research moves a step closer to the possibility of “smart,” 3D-printed bone, skin and cartilage tissue replacement.

Saunders Summer Startup Program encourages multidisciplinary student teams to jumpstart their ventures in hopes of kick starting real companies. It culminates with Investor Demo Night on Wednesday.

Iris Rivero, a faculty-researcher at Iowa State University and expert in additive and hybrid manufacturing, was recently named department head of industrial and systems engineering at RIT.

RIT engineering students and faculty traveled to Cali, Colombia, to deliver and show residents how to use a new solar-powered 3D printing system they developed. The team worked with partners from the Universidad Autónoma de Occidente throughout the spring semester to create the product.

Technology development for “smart” forklifts and trucks that communicate with each other is underway at RIT where a team of engineers is building a next-generation intelligent materials handling system.

Meet Dimple Joseph, a fifth-year industrial engineering and engineering management major and director of the College Activities Board.

Five graduate engineering students participated in an intensive, three-day work experience at the Raymond Corp. and were challenged to find ways to improve one of the company's manufacturing workflow processes.

Rochester Institute of Technology students and faculty from various disciplines put their creative problem-solving skills to good use earlier this month. Working collaboratively, they examined challenges faced by client organizations and then presented conceptual solutions to them during a two-day event.
