Breakthrough in 3D imaging!

Cluster Principal Investigator Prof. Dr. Uli Lemmer was part of a research team at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology that developed a portable multispectral 3D camera using inkjet printing. This palm-sized camera captures both 3D spatial and spectral information in a single snapshot, which traditionally requires multiple devices or time-consuming scanning processes. By integrating AI, […]

Eyesight from the 3D printer

Printing a new cornea during surgery to restore vision: This groundbreaking step in the fight against corneal diseases will be made possible in the future by a laser-based procedure using customized bio-ink. It was developed by researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) led by Cluster Principal Investigator Ute Schepers with the participation of […]

A novel method for multimaterial 3D laser printing

A new cluster publication with first author Niklas Schwegler has been published in Small. Postdoctoral Researchers Maria Villiou, Federico Colombo, Barbara Schamberger and Principal Investigators Christine Selhuber-Unkel, Franziska Thomas and Eva Blasco are also involved. The scientists developed a direct method to fabricate 3D microstructured cell-adhesive and cell-repellent multimaterials using two-photon laser printing. This method […]
