What is PRISM ?

An interdisciplinary initiative serving research and teaching needs at ASU in the area of 3D Computer Aided Design, Computer Graphics and Rapid Prototyping.

PRISM Objectives

Advance research in 3D computer visualization and manufacturing.

Develop a multidisciplinary research infrastructure.

Establish a presence across campus. Establish off-campus partnerships.

PRISM Collaborations

PRISM Domains

PRISM is an umbrella for research in :

Data Acquisition

3D Visualization and Modeling

Form Realization

PARfC Mission

he mission of the PRISM consortium is to encourage the pursuit of knowledge of current and developing RF systems and developing cutting-edge science and technology to improve the process, materials and the strategic placement of RF in the business workplace. In addition, the consortium will provide a stimulating and state-of-the-art education in RF for students both resident at and distant from ASU. The consortium will serve the corporate needs of ASU and its industry partners.
