Current projects
3D printing of biological and engineering structures
3D prints biological and engineering structures from difficult-to-print materials, using inkjetting, extrusion, laser-induced forward transfer and stereolithography.
Dynamic material behavior using jetting and machining
Studies how materials behave under rapid jetting and machining, using the lab's advanced manufacturing equipment.
