ValCUN is proud to announce the installation of our Minerva metal 3D printer at Johns Hopkins Department of Civil and Systems Engineering – a global leader in science, engineering, and public health research.
This marks a major milestone as we expand our presence into the United States!
The Minerva printer will empower JHU researchers and students to work hands-on with our Molten Metal Deposition (MMD) technology, a wire-based, powder-free, and laser-free process that brings metal additive manufacturing closer to real-world deployment.
Why Minerva?
✔️ Compact, deployable, and easy to use => fits in 19th century elevators of JHU
✔️ Works with standard aluminum wire => No ATEX safety measures needed inside the beautiful JHU buildings
✔️ Safer, sustainable, and cost-efficient => Attributing to global and JHU’s HSE goals
A huge thank you to Dr. Jochen Mueller and the team at Johns Hopkins for their trust and collaboration. We’re excited to support their research in medical devices, infrastructure, and more.
This is just the beginning, we’re looking forward to more partnerships across academia and industry. Interested in a demo or pilot? Let’s talk.
