3D printing of polymer-based microelectromechanical systems

There is currently a big craze in 3D printing, a transformative technology that will most likely change the way we fabricate a plethora of products, ranging from toys to complex aircraft components. The research project addresses the entire span of high-end printing applications, ranging from material design to the fabrication process. On the material side, the intern will mix the best nanoscopic materials inside different kinds of plastics for improved electrical and mechanical properties while innovating in 3D printing methods using commercial and custom-made printers. The student might also be involved in the design and fabrication of printing accessories.
