TODAY, WE BRING YOU MORE INSIGHTS FROM THE SCHOOL LABORATORY, ARIES COLLEGE OF HEALTH, MANAGEMENT & TECHNOLOGY.
The instruments in the picture are digital fabrication machines – specifically a CNC router/engraving machine and a 3D printer.
🏓 Let's start from the left hand side.
CNC Machine / Laser Engraver
Type: Desktop CNC (Computer Numerical Control) engraving/milling machine.
Function: Used for cutting, engraving, and milling designs onto materials like wood, plastic, acrylic, PCB boards, and sometimes soft metals (e.g., aluminum).
HOW DOES IT WORK?
1. A design is created in CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD, Fusion 360).
2..The file is converted to G-code, which contains machine instructions.
3. The CNC machine then follows these codes to engrave, cut, or carve the design with high precision.
🏓 On the right side: 3D Printer (Ender Model)
Brand/Model: The label shows "Ender", which is a product line from Creality (a popular 3D printer manufacturer). This is most likely an Ender-3 series printer.
Type: FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D Printer.
Function: Builds 3D physical objects layer by layer from digital 3D models.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
1. A design is made using CAD software (e.g., Tinkercad, SolidWorks, Fusion 360).
2. The file is sliced into layers by slicing software (e.g., Cura, PrusaSlicer).
3. The printer heats a filament (plastic material like PLA, ABS, or PETG) and extrudes it layer by layer onto the print bed, forming a 3D object.
COURSES/DEPARTMENTS THAT COULD BENEFIT THE MOST FROM THESE INSTRUMENTS:
✅1. Medical Laboratory Technician
Need 3D printers to produce anatomical models, mock-up lab apparatus, and even prototype low-cost diagnostic tools.
CNC could help in making custom holders, racks, or device casings for laboratory equipment.
✅2. Pharmacy Technician
3D printing is now used worldwide for drug delivery research (e.g., printing tablets with controlled release).
In a teaching setting, models of drug molecules, pill molds, and packaging prototypes could be made.
✅ 3. X-ray Technician (Radiography Technician)
Very useful for making skeletal models and organ replicas for learning radiographic positioning.
3D printing can also create phantom models (objects mimicking body tissues for X-ray practice).
✅ 4. Environmental Health
CNC & 3D printers could help produce models of water treatment systems, waste disposal prototypes, and sanitation devices.
Useful for innovation in affordable sanitation and environmental monitoring tools.
✅ 5. Paramedics / Basic Life Support (BLS)
3D printers can produce CPR mannequins, airway management trainers, and emergency procedure simulators.
Great for hands-on practice where imported dummies are too expensive.
OTHER COURSES THAT WILL NEED THIS ARE:
✅6. Community Health
For making public health education models (e.g., 3D lungs to teach about TB, mosquitoes for malaria awareness).
✅7. Health Information Management (HIM)
HIM needs 3D printers for data visualization aids (e.g., physical models of organs/diseases for presentations).
✅8. Hospitality Management (if under the college)
3D printers can create food models, kitchen tool prototypes.
✅9. Medical Store Technology / Hospital Administration & Health Management
Need 3D printing for inventory models, packaging design, and logistics planning tools.
