Hybrid Additive Manufacturing of Advanced Functional Materials

On 15 October, Professor Kay delivered an engaging talk on the latest advancements in Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing). The session focused on the development of high-resolution, multi-material functional systems that integrate polymers, metals, and ceramics. Professor Kay also discussed the benefits and challenges of combining advanced materials and processes within a single manufacturing platform.

The presentation highlighted the Ceramic Hybrid Additive Manufacturing Platform (CHAMP), which enables industrial-scale production using real material feedstocks and holds promising applications in batteries, medical implants, and robotics. His research spans hybrid ceramics, autonomous fabrication of robotic systems, and the 3D printing of functional and medical devices, paving the way for innovation in next-generation manufacturing.
