Seminar Announcement
On May 6, there will be a special seminar on “Overcoming the conflict between stiffness and toughness in architected lattices“ by Dr. Jochen Mueller (Harvard University). It takes place at KIT Campus South, Physics building (30.23), in room 6-1 from 10-11 am.
New photoresist enables 3D printing of nanoporous structures
In a paper recently published in the journal Advanced Materials, Cluster researchers describe a newly developed photoresist for 3D laser microprinting that can be used for manufacturing nanoporous polymer microstructures. By tuning the writing parameters, the porosity of the printed material can be controlled.
CANCELLED: Cluster Conference 2020
With regret, the organizers of Future 3D Additive Manufacturing – the 3DMM2O Conference 2020: 3D Hybrid Organotypic Systems have decided to cancel the conference. Further information will follow soon.
Registration Open: Summer Program 2020
Female high school students with an interest in STEM are invited to take part in a week of fascinating insights into the world of 3D Printing. Places are limited!
Public Lecture by Prof. Dr. Martin Wegener
On April 9, 2019, Prof. Dr. Martin Wegener gave the inaugural lecture for the Nano Institute of the University of Syndey on the topic “Nano 3D printing: Materials beyond Imagination”.
Nature Communications features publications
Nature Communications recently curated a themed collection showcasing interdisciplinary papers on Additive Manufacturing and 3D Printing published in the journal over the past years. The collection includes two papers by Cluster PIs: “Adding chemically selective subtraction to multi-material 3D additive manufacturing” and “Controlling the shape of 3D microstructures by temperature and light”. We congratulate!
CANCELLED: German-Japanese Workshop
PLEASE NOTE that the workshop had to be postponed. On March 4 & 5, the German-Japanese Workshop “Aquatic Materials Made to Order” will take place at Heidelberg University. The workshop is jointly organized by MEXT Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Innovative Areas “Aquatic Functional Materials” and the Cluster 3DMM2O.
Visit by Rotary Club members
On October 26, as part of the 40 year anniversary of the Rotary Club Karlsruhe-Fächerstadt, Rotary Club members visited the Center for Functional Nanostructures at KIT to learn about the research of the Cluster 3DMM2O.
Publication about Multimaterial Photoresists
Researchers of the Cluster introduce a platform technology for multimaterial photoresists that can be orthogonally cured by changing the colour of light.
Event with ITAS: technik.kontrovers
On July 21 at 6 pm, the ITAS event technik.kontrovers “Zukünfte des 3D-Drucks” will take place online. It will feature talks and a discussion on the present and future as well as the social dimension of 3D printing. The information on how to access the event is available on the website of the ITAS.
