Project Devices and materials for printing electronics Program Mechanical Engineering Undergraduate Research Program Term Summer 2025 Status Closed Research Area mechanics, manufacturing Description Additive manufacturing has advantages of rapid prototyping, reduced material waste, and the ability to produce 3D structures that enable new product categories. Our lab develops new printing techniques and materials sets for direct write 3D printing. DIW printing prints paste-like materials at room temperature and is highly suitable for electronics, polymers, and biomedical devices. Supervisor Alex Chortos Mentor Type of work required Projects can be tailored to the interests and background of the students. Examples of typical learning opportunities include:
-Design multimaterial printing nozzles using CAD and printing them using DLP printing
-Adding new functionalities to our DIW printer setup (imaging, temperature control)
-Developing materials sets with unique properties (biodegradability, stretchability etc.) Websites Qualifications No specific qualifications. Credit Hours 3 Weekly Hours 10 (estimated)
