In everything from electronics in cars to the components of commercial airliners are state-of-the-art 3D-printed materials. Their strength and properties depend on what they’re made of and how they’re made.

Inside Tarik Dickens’ lab at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, researchers are fine-tuning the tools used in 3D printing, helping to create better, stronger materials for a wide variety of applications.

In an unparalleled achievement, students from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and the High-Performance Materials Institute (HPMI) emerged as the undisputed champions at the Society for the Advancement of Material and Process Engineering (SAMPE) university research symposium at CAMX this fall. The 2023 SAMPE symposium saw a historic win for the institution as its talented researchers clinched the gold medal in all three categories: Ph.D., M.S., and B.S.
