The geographical organization of the MIT campus is much easier to understand by referring to the MIT map, in online interactive, [1] or downloadable printable form. [2] There is also an MIT Accessibility Campus Map available for download, which is useful for mobility-impaired visitors. [3]

Digital modeling and fabrication is a design and production process that combines 3D modeling or computing-aided design (CAD) with additive and subtractive manufacturing. Additive manufacturing is also known as 3D printing, while subtractive manufacturing may also be referred to as machining, [1] and many other technologies can be exploited to ...
3D printing, or additive manufacturing, is the construction of a three-dimensional object from a CAD model or a digital 3D model. [1] [2] [3] It can be done in a variety of processes in which material is deposited, joined or solidified under computer control, [4] with the material being added together (such as plastics, liquids or powder grains being fused), typically layer by layer.
MIT OpenCourseWare is supported by MIT, corporate underwriting, major gifts, and donations from site visitors. [2] The initiative inspired a number of other institutions to make their course materials available as open educational resources. [3] As of May 2018, over 2,400 courses were available online.
Design for additive manufacturing (DfAM or DFAM) is design for manufacturability as applied to additive manufacturing (AM). It is a general type of design methods or tools whereby functional performance and/or other key product life-cycle considerations such as manufacturability, reliability, and cost can be optimized subjected to the capabilities of additive manufacturing technologies.
[2] [3] EBF 3 is a NASA-patented additive manufacturing process designed to build near-net-shape parts requiring less raw material and finish machining than traditional manufacturing methods. EBF 3 is a process by which NASA plans to build metal parts in zero-gravity environments; this layer-additive process uses an electron beam and a solid ...
Z Corporation (commonly abbreviated Z Corp.) is a company that makes 3D printing and scanning technologies.It was founded in December 1994 by Marina Hatsopoulos, Walter Bornhorst, James Bredt and Tim Anderson, based on a technology developed at MIT under the direction of Professor Ely Sachs.
