Our Mission:
To use integrated product/process realization methods to develop products which satisfy a demonstrated market need and can be sold at a price greater than their manufacturing cost.
PrISM is a student run enterprise team that is focused on product design from a manufacturing standpoint. Team members gain hands on machining experience and are exposed to engineering concepts such as design for manufacturing. Students also gain skills in teamwork, leadership, CAD and CAM software, and manufacturing/machining techniques. Looking towards the future, PrISM hopes to develop into the manufacturing authority on campus, with expertise in machining and other metal-forming techniques to more advanced manufacturing operations. We will be looking to contract our services on a broad range, from campus based organizations to outside corporations.
For more information about PrISM, please contact the team advisor, Dr. Mark Plichta (mrplich@mtu.edu) or one of the team members.
