Lin Lab: Reshaping Fabrication with Direct Ink Writing for 3D Printing

December 1, 2025
Advances in direct ink writing techniques are helping to reshape the way electronic devices are fabricated.

BSAC Co-Director Liwei Lin and colleagues are leading advancements in additive manufacturing with a new laser-assisted direct ink writing technique, recently featured in Nature Electronics and TechXplore. By utilizing a laser to instantly cure thermoset materials as they are extruded, this method eliminates the need for support structures and enables the "volumetric programming" of mechanical stiffness and conductivity. Ultimately, this technology overcomes...
