(From Missouri Southern State University)

Missouri Southern State University (MSSU) is proud to announce the launch of the Missouri 3D Printing Center for Precision Health, a new initiative funded through a Science to Jobs grant provided by the Missouri Department of Higher Education and Workforce Development.

The center will officially open on May 9 with a special event starting at 9 a.m. State legislators, regional leaders, and media are invited to preview the work that will be taking place. Presentations will highlight the newest technologies now housed at MSSU. The event will be held in the Ummel Technology Building, Room 118, where the center will be temporarily housed.

This cutting-edge facility will serve as a hub for advanced research, workforce training, and regional collaboration focused on the intersection of 3D printing and personalized healthcare solutions.

“The Missouri 3D Printing Center for Precision Health brings new opportunities spanning into the disciplines of healthcare, education, research, and industry,” said Dr. Crystal Lemmons, dean of the College of Health, Life Sciences and Education. “The potential impact of this technology is unlimited in its scope, and we expect the center to continue to grow and evolve over time.”

The long-term vision includes relocating the center to the Roy Blunt Health Science Innovation Center in 2026.

Dr. Crystal Lemmons and MSSU President Dr. Dean Van Galen will be available to speak to media at the event. Please contact Felicia Vaught at 417-625-9365 or Vaught-f@mssu.edu if you plan to attend.
