Dr. Rika W. Carlsen

Associate Professor of Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering at Robert Morris University,
University of Pennysylvania, Pittsburg, PA

Rika Carlsen, an associate professor of mechanical and biomedical engineering, is one of the scientists taking part in the PANTHER program, funded by the U.S. Office of Naval Research. The three-year program includes scientists from government laboratories, the industry sector, and several universities. Carlsen’s role will be to expand her research and simulations with a highly detailed computer model of a human head, including the skull, fluids and brain tissue, to be used in simulations testing response to low intensity or sub-concussive impacts and blows, as well as higher severity impacts and blast waves from explosions.

Adam Imdaadulah (MEng)

Project Engineer at CRPM, The CRPM is located at the Central University of Technology, Free State (CUT) in Bloemfontein and was established in 1997 as part of a research initiative. At that time, Additive Manufacturing (AM) also commonly known as 3D printing, was in its infancy worldwide.

Through the foresight of the founders of the CRPM, a laser sintering machine was imported from Germany for research at the Faculty of Engineering. This was the fifth machine in the country. It was soon realised that our equipment could benefit industry by offering a service in rapid prototyping. This would fulfil one of the missions of the university which is to introduce new technology to the South African manufacturing industry.

The centre received ISO 13485 certification for 3D printing of medical devices making it the first centre in SA and Africa to receive this prestigious certification for an Additive Manufacturing Centre.
