TROY – Project DIAMOnD, a 3D printing initiative in partnership with Automation Alley and Oakland County, has opened a Digital Transformation Center in Auburn Hills that provides companies access to industrial 3D printing equipment, training and support. Pavan Mazumdar, Automation Alley COO, and Project DIAMOnD CEO, joins MITech TV to explain the significance of this project for Michigan manufacturing.

“At the Digital Transformation Center, Project DIAMOnD participants will learn how to transform their businesses from a capital and process-based mindset to a design and intellectual property mindset facilitated by 3D printing. This encompasses having an opportunity to launch and validate products before investing in industrial additive manufacturing equipment,” said Muzumdar. “They will also retain access to 3D print and post-process products, without the burden of owning and operating complex equipment.”

The new Digital Transformation Center (DTC) is supported by Geofabrica, an Auburn Hills business that specializes in the development of custom 3D printing systems and processes for industrial applications. Through the DTC, Project DIAMOnD companies will have access to additive manufacturing courses, a team of experts, and access to additional 3D printers to test and make products.

Beyond 3D printing equipment, the DTC will provide access to industrial 3D scanners and advanced modeling and measurement software. Companies will also be able to upload and order parts through the DTC.
