OU's Sooner Advanced Manufacturing Lab
The Sooner Advanced Manufacturing Laboratory at the University of Oklahoma enables research and workforce development to support the growing defense industry in Oklahoma. SAML catalyzes research led by the faculty of the Gallogly College of Engineering and the Oklahoma Aerospace and Defense Innovation Institute by providing a home for OU’s advanced manufacturing research and development.
Located in Norman, OK, SAML houses two GE M2 Series 5 Metal 3D printers: one machine for stainless steel and the other for titanium alloys. These state-of-the-art 3D printers assist OU faculty and students with designing and meeting the most critical requirements of the highly regulated military and aerospace industry. The lab also maintains cross-cutting equipment for destructive testing of parts, digital twin, CAD modeling, precision cutting/polishing, and more.
