This workshop will address the science and engineering of 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing.
Topics at the core of IPRIME – materials, interfacial phenomena and processing science – are also essential to the field of 3D printing.
In this workshop, we will explore these topics and more. This workshopis co-sponsored by three IPRIME programs: Biomaterials and Pharmaceutical Materials,
Coating Process Fundamentals, and Microstructured Polymers
