Simulation Innovation Lab
What is the Innovation Lab?
The UTSW Simulation Center (UTSWSC) Innovations Lab was established with the aim of enhancing healthcare simulation, education, and research through the cutting-edge technology of 3D printing and modeling. The UTSWSC is excited to partner with subject matter experts (SME) across campus on the development of 3D prints and molds to support the academic endeavors of campus. All projects follow UTSW Policies, including INP-101.
Project Request
All projects should be submitted via the UTSWSC online form. The formal request here at 3D Printing Request. The UTSWSC Director of Operations will approve the requests on a case-by-case basis, based on the information supplied through the online submission, to ensure simulation personnel have adequate time and resources to sufficiently complete the project.
