FMC Technologies Measurement Solutions, an Erie-based manufacturer of precision metering products for the oil and gas industry, has donated a 3D printer to the School of Engineering at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College.
The machine, which is valued at more than $40,000, will allow the college to expand its coursework and industry supported research in the growing field of additive manufacturing.
The gift of the machine enhances an existing partnership between Penn State Behrend and FMC Technologies, which in 2012 opened a $500,000 engineering design center in Erie. More than 20 Penn State Behrend engineering students are currently employed at the center, working on global subsea projects.
