We aim to develop Advanced Additive Manufacturing Systems by combining optical technology and high-precision engineering to enhance the 3d printing performance; high-resolution, large-area, high-scalability, multi-materials. With the developed advanced 3D printers, we take advantage of the novel additive manufacturing skills and apply them to diverse applications.

High-resolution 3D printer

• Single-digit micrometer resolution 3D printer

Large-area 3D printer

• Optical expansion and sequential flashing of UV projection for large-area print

Multi-material 3D printer

• Carousel-based 3D printing; automatic multi-material printing/washing/post-processing

Lattices have many outstanding properties. The application of additive manufacturing technology used for fabricating lattice structures has pushed the development of lattice structure designs to a new stage and made breakthrough progress. 3D volume metamaterials have great potential to target dynamic functional properties beyond the intrinsic properties of materials. Furthermore, the cellular structure can provide additional functions to the intrinsic structures.

Mechanical Metamaterial

• Custom metamaterial with dynamic functional properties

• Simulation-based metamaterial design optimization

Cellular fluidics

• Controlled fluidic manipulation via metamaterial

We aim to apply the digital fabrication method to Translational Medicine. There is a wide range of easily translatable and easily achievable opportunities. They can stimulate opportunities for collaboration with the medical sector and have an immediate impact on the Translational Medicine community.
