The institution has SARChI designation in the field of Medical Product Development through AM, in addition to a Department of Science and Innovation (DSI)/Manufacturing, Engineering and Related Services Sector Education and Training Authority (merSETA)-funded Chair in Innovation and Commercialization of AM.
The Minister of Higher Education, Science, and Technology, Dr. Blade Nzimande, will also unveil the MEDADD (Medical Device Additive Manufacturing Technology Demonstration Project) at the Bloemfontein campus (postponed due to COVID-19). This R71 million DSI-funded project will bring the university’s center and industry together to plan and invest resources collaboratively to develop the local medical device industry using AM technology, and to reduce the country’s dependence on expensive imported medical devices that local hospitals cannot afford. This represents a small portion of the university’s efforts in this field.
