Electrochemical 3D Printer (e3DP)

The technology combines unprecedented three-dimensional control and material flexibility, to culminate in a new process for 2D patterning and 3D printing of polymeric, organic, semiconducting, or metallic materials into complex shapes. The electrochemical 3D printer (e3DP) is expanding the range of materials that can be printed using a single device reducing the number of pre- and post-processing steps that are necessary to manufacture implants, sensors, and other devices. With the help of the Discovery Translational Fund this invention can be developed into a prototype that is a competitive alternative to conventional manufacturing methods.
