TThe Product Design Laboratory of the Faculty of Engineering of Bilbao was created as a response to the interest of its Department of Graphic Design and Engineering Projects in research and technological transfer in the areas of Product Design, Reverse Engineering and Rapid Prototyping.

The laboratory works with 3D scanners of several typologies such as Creaform's Handyscan Exascan and Handyscan Revscan, Gom's Atos, as well as Next Engine's 3D HD Scanner. The Product Design Laboratory is equipped with two Rapid Prototyping machines: a Dimension Elite model, by Stratasys, and the Zprinter 450, by Z Corporation. It is also equipped with and holds the licenses for Reverse Engineering software such as RapidForm XOR, Geomagic Studio and ATOS, as well as the Geomagic Qualify and ATOS inspection software. Design software includes CatiaV5, Solid Edge, NX and SolidWorks licenses.
