Happy Start of the Semester, Black Bears! #GoUMaine #UMaineEngineering #Engineering #AdvancedStructures #Composites #R1Research #HeartyMaineHello

What an exciting event hosted by @UMComposites ! We had over 1,000 students, volunteers, teachers and community members on the @UMaine campus for the 2024 Windstorm challenge. Thanks to all who participated in this event and congratulations to our winners. #umaine

Get a close look at a segment of #BioHome3D at @ORNL's booth at #RapidTCT24 - the world's 1st 100% biobased 3D-printed house! 🏠 The composite contains Ingeo 3D700, a grade we recommend for large-format prints. If you're here, check out NatureWorks booth #1151 to learn more!

A milestone day as we unveiled our new #3Dprinter, 4X larger than our previous Guinness World Records holder, to advance sustainable solutions in next-generation manufacturing. Introducing Factory of the Future 1.0. The first step forward. #additivemanufacturing #GoUMaine

@spizzyspose @UMaine Send us a DM! We would love to show you the lab!

Dear @UMaine can i please come see this thing next weekend when i play in Bangor?!

The world’s largest 3D printer, housed in a US university, has created a house that can cut construction time. Now the school has an even larger printer which may one day create entire neighborhoods, AP reports. trib.al/eMM09Zr

Our Wood Composites team is celebrating National Bioproducts Day! Take a look at our wood composites pilot line and how the ASCC is developing bio-based materials here at @UMaine!

We look forward to offering this course to the public very soon.

#Textiles are the future - and the past! ASCC team members recently took a UMS Textiles Microcredential Course. This was an excellent opportunity for ASCC students and staff to learn about the history and applications of #textilematerials.
