If you have not participated in a virtual networking event, come and join us! It’s a lot of fun, easy to do and a great way to make new connections! After the networking event, we will learn about the topic below…
The Speakers: Andre Castiaux, Mike Hill, Andrew F. Hall
Come and join us to learn about the SLU Center for Additive Manufacturing…
Established in 2019 through a competitive grant from the Saint Louis University Research Institute, SLU-CAM is a resource for 3D printing, computer aided design and related activities, available to faculty, students and the community at large.
Saint Louis University’s Center for Additive Manufacturing or SLU-CAM is a 1000 sq ft facility housed in the New Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Building (Room 204). The mission of the center is to connect students, researchers, and the community with expertise and resources in additive manufacturing.
Andre Castiaux is an analytical chemist by training who has utilized the additive manufacturing benefits to advance microfluidic analysis. His main research focuses on incorporating non 3d printed parts during the printing process. This includes embedded electronics, fluidic connections, and various membrane components. In his role as the lead engineer for the St. Louis University Center for Additive Manufacturing (SLU-CAM) he focuses on connecting new AM users with the right technology. Andre has worked on AM projects ranging from custom 3d printed surgical guides, to commercial prototype development, and functional end use products for chemical analysis. These projects have utilized both FDM and Polyjet printing technology.
Mike Hill is the founder and president of Hill Innovative Solutions, LLC. He has a Bachelor’s degree in Physics from Knox College, and an Executive MBA from Washington University’s Olin School of Business. Mike’s extensive experience in design, development and manufacturing includes over 200 different products in multiple different industries including aerospace, respiratory protection, medical devices, sporting goods, consumer products, industrial equipment and power electronics. In his leadership of manufacturing, services, and maker space organizations he has incorporated “lean” and “continual improvement” manufacturing principles through MVP development, inventory control, reduced lead times, and employee engagement.
Dr. Andrew Hall’s research interests stem from his experience in medical imaging. He works with interventional radiologists to optimize pre-operative imaging protocols to support emerging minimally invasive procedures, such as prostate artery embolization. His lab is also working on image-guided robotic therapies for pedicle screw placement and laminectomy in the spine. His lab uses 3D printing extensively, including the development of 3D-printed objects with controllable radiopacity, and dissolvable 3D printed tissue molds derived from CT images. Finally, he works on the development of smart-phone based medical devices.
