- The University of Maine, home of the world’s largest 3D printer, is becoming known as a world leader in engineering advances. The university’s Advanced Structures and Composites Center is headed by Dr. Habib Dagher, also known for teaching the next generation of technology innovators.
In this episode of Chasing Maine, we talk with Dagher about UMaine’s growing reputation - as a place where science and technology combine to create products that help to benefit society. In Dagher’s words, “By working together we can make a difference, educate the next generation and move the needle on societal needs.”
Meanwhile, the center is attracting young, new talent from away, and bringing former students back to Maine to continue their career. “We need to bring the young people back to Maine,” says Dagher. "We have a motto in our lab… none of us is as smart as all of us.”

That is quite an amazing achievement. You mentioned wind turbine blades. The biggest issue as you may know with those turbine blades is transporting them to the installation site from the manufacturing site on road networks which limits their size to an extent and adds transportation costs. If you printed them near the installation site using a portable version of your large 3D printer, size of the blade is only limited by your material strength. That could be big market for your 3D printer.
Love seeing the creative housing alternatives with developed. The Maine environment is a perfect testing zone. Wonderful. Wishing you an abundance of success.
Sounds like a company I would be proud to work for.
I was impressed. Habib Dagher is for sure a standout teacher and innovator. And it's happening right here in Maine!
Incredible achievement
my mom works there
Curious, does the 3D Printer has a name?
