Central Facilities
INNOVATION LABORATORY The Innovation Lab is a student run hobby-lab that allows students to translate their ideas into prototypes and products. Such a facility holds immense potential in pushing forward the ‘Make-in-India’ initiative of the Govt. of India. It has latest equipment such as a dual- head 3D printer, a CNC router, a CNC milling machine and a CNC lathe. These machines will enable the precise fabrication of prototypes in plastic, wood and soft metals such as aluminum.
