3D Printing (Robocasting) of functional materials for use in catalytic, optical, and tissue engineering applications

Robocasting, also known as extrusion-based ink, is a 3D printing technique that may to produce complex 3D shapes structures taking a virtual design from computer aid design (CAD) software. This technique relies on printing a continuous ink filament in a layer- by- layer sequence. This technique offer new opportunities for patterning materials from micro- to macroscale. In this talk, it will first provide an overview of this technique and relevant tools, such as ink composition, rheological behaviour, and printing parameters. Then, it will focus on recent results and different potential applications as catalysis, optical, and tissue engineering.
