3D Electronics for Education, Research and Innovation

Additive and printed electronics are redefining how circuits are created by enabling direct printing of conductive and functional inks onto both rigid and flexible substrates. Advances in precision microdispensing now make it possible to move from a digital design to a working prototype within an hour. This capability serves a broad spectrum of users including academic researchers developing new materials, R&D teams accelerating prototyping cycles, educators integrating practical electronics into classrooms, and hobbyists driving innovation in the maker community. By combining dispensing, heating, and surface preparation in a compact platform, these technologies simplify workflows, reduce costs, and open opportunities for experimentation. The talk will highlight how accessible electronics fabrication empowers faster learning, deeper research, and creative exploration while supporting the development of next generation devices in areas such as wearables, sensors, and IoT.
