Fabrication Facilities Established through the project titled “Development of Automated Low-Cost Reader for Soil NPK Detection using Printed Electrode with Integrated Android application”: BT/PR36154/NNT/28/2020 funded by DBT, Government of India

 The Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Government of India, has supported the project proposal  titled “Development of Automated Low-Cost Reader for Soil NPK Detection using Printed Electrode with Integrated Android application”: BT/PR36154/NNT/28/2020 institution for establishing of two key fabrication facilities: a Screen-Printing Machine and a 3D Printer. These state-of-the-art additions significantly enhance our capabilities in prototype development, product design, and applied research across various science and engineering disciplines.

Screen Printing Machine Facility

Our Screen Printing Machine, funded under the DBT scheme, enables high-precision printing of functional materials on diverse substrates. This facility supports research and student projects involving:

• Fabrication of printed electronics
• Development of flexible sensors and wearable devices
• Preparation of electrodes for energy storage and biosensing
• Rapid prototyping of circuit patterns for academic and industrial applications
• Training students in patterning techniques using conductive, dielectric, and hybrid inks

This equipment strengthens hands-on learning and encourages innovation in interdisciplinary domains such as electronics, materials science, biotechnology, and environmental monitoring.

3D Printing Facility

The addition of a high-performance FabX 3D Printer through DBT funding empowers our students and researchers to convert ideas into functional prototypes with ease and precision. The facility offers:

• Fabrication of complex 3D structures for research and product development
• Rapid prototyping for mechanical, biomedical, and electronics applications
• Exposure to modern additive manufacturing techniques

This facility enhances experiential learning and promotes a culture of design thinking and innovation.
