1 / 14Equipment
The laboratories of our innovation centre are open to students, teaching staff and companies in the region. Below, the available equipment and what can be done with it.
3D Printer
Rapid prototyping for student projects: functional parts, mock-ups and educational models, straight from the CAD file.
3D Scanner
3D scanning is the process of analysing a real-world object or environment to collect data on its shape and appearance, from which digital 3D models are built.
VR Glasses
Training in virtual environments - from operating CNC machines with no risk of accident, to visiting heritage sites that no longer physically exist.
Educational robotic arm
A first contact with industrial robot programming: kinematics, trajectories, gripping and handling, on a laboratory-scale machine.
H3P humanoid robot
A humanoid robot used for demonstrations, human–machine interaction and engineering outreach among school pupils.
CNC machines - turning and milling
A CNC technology laboratory with educational turning and milling machines, simulators and dedicated software, plus a professional centre with a multifunctional machine and an industrial robot.
History
The RoUaTADRI project starts
EUR 293,640 in funding through the Joint Operational Programme Romania–Ukraine 2014–2020, to create two innovation centres.
Opening of the Baia Mare centre
On 24 May 2021 the centre officially opens, with CNC machines, a 3D printer and scanner, VR glasses, a robotic arm, a humanoid robot and a bionic hand.
First activities with pupils and the final conference
Training with high school pupils in March, the project's final conference in April.
Expansion through the ATEd project
A CNC technology laboratory, a professional centre with an industrial robot and a CAD/CAM class, plus training programmes and distance-learning courses.
