The research mission statement of the Design, Research, and Education for Additive Manufacturing Systems (DREAMS) Laboratory is "to be a leader in the transition of rapid prototyping technologies to the new paradigm of additive manufacturing," according to founder/director Christopher Williams, assistant professor in the College of Engineering’s Department of Mechanical Engineering and Department of Engineering Education.

Students create intricate shapes, figures (such as a model of a scan of Williams’s skull), and tools in the DREAMS Lab, using the large, high-end 3-D printers found in Randolph Hall.
