Project Microscale 3D Printing Tool Implementation Program Mechanical Engineering Undergraduate Research Program Term Fall 2025 Status Closed Research Area heat transfer Description Three-dimensional (3D) printing is routinely performed by writing 1D shapes (point-by-point) or 2D shapes (layer-by-layer), using different methods, such Stereolithography (SLA), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), and Digital Light Process (DLP). Here we will assemble a team to experimentally implement a microscale 3D printer method with software and hardware infrastructure into a user tool. This is the continuation for project from previous years. Participants will learn the previous development and build upon existing infrastructures. Supervisor Liang Pan Mentor Type of work required A working microscale 3D printer, including the hardware and control software Websites Qualifications Applicants expect to have one of the following capabilities. 1.
