Have been a fanboy of volumetric additive manufacturing (VAM), so it is great to develop and publish this paper doi.org/10.1002/admt.... Since VAM can burn through bioresins, we wanted to develop a low-cost, easy to make formulation with good resolutions and visualization. Enjoy!

With a bluesky account, here is a blast from the past and a test of threads. doi.org/10.1002/adma... changes a fundamental which unlocks geometric freedom for melt electrowriting (MEW). Instead of direct-writing fibers directly on top of each other, the fiber-on-fiber position can be controlled....

A classic melt electrowriting (MEW) video. With a nozzle-collector gap of 3.5 mm, a polycaprolactone melt is extruded to a 5.75kV charged 22G nozzle, thinning out into a fine microfiber. The jet speed is 260mm/min and although the collector speed increases, it never breaks. doi.org/10.1002/admt...

I wanted to thank my friends and hopefully interested colleagues who I nominated for the MEW group, to get things up and running. Thank you!🙏

Let's start this account with some science from a fanboy - we try to increase volumetric printing resolution AND improve the cost. We did both and now have some PEGDA resins that cost 2c/print. In revision but hopefully soon to be published!
