AUK Engineering Students Innovate with 3D Printing and AI for Oil and Healthcare Sectors

Senior systems engineering students Abdulaziz Ali Reda and Shorowq Bukhamsin from the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences (CEAS) at AUK showcased their groundbreaking capstone project at the prestigious 13th Industries & Construction Exhibition held in Kuwait. The innovative project, supervised by AUK visiting professor of systems engineering, Dr. Aliaa Abou-Ali, and associate professor of systems engineering, Dr. Belal Gharaibeh, is titled, "Enhancing Efficiency in the Oil and Healthcare Sectors with 3D Printed Parts and AI Design." This initiative forms part of their individual projects funded by the Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences (KFAS).

Funded by KFAS, the primary objective of the project is to explore specific applications of 3D printing and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the manufacturing sector. By focusing on the development of polymer-based mechanical components produced through advanced 3D printing and AI techniques, the project addresses critical supply chain challenges. It aims to replace consumable parts in various industrial scenarios, providing a sustainable and adaptable solution that reduces reliance on imports and mitigates logistical delays.

The students' presentation garnered significant attention from both industry professionals and academic peers. The exhibition also served as a valuable platform for the students to network with leading companies and professionals, enriching their professional development and practical knowledge through real-world engagement.

AUK takes pride in its students' dedication and their contributions to advancing technological innovation in Kuwait. AUK remains committed to supporting initiatives that foster creativity and industry collaboration, bridging the gap between academic research and practical applications in vital sectors such as construction, oil, and healthcare.
