RESEARCH

Advance What’s Possible

The ultimate goal of every researcher is to advance their field of study. Research councils are looking to fund projects that span multiple disciplines. Creating prototypes to illustrate findings in vivid detail with realistic 3D models leaves a lasting – and potentially valuable – impression. And that’s just one example of how 3D printing is accelerating the field of research.

"Voxel Print allowed us to invent new materials much faster than we had planned and opened a door to new possibilities for our research students."

Dr. Chris Williams Department of Engineering Virginia Tech

"Voxel Print gives you 750 billion possibilities for voxels. It's the key to unlocking true manufacturing freedom. It will allow my lab to one day print fully integrated electro-mechanical systems, robots or drones that can fly or crawl out of a 3D printer."

“With multi-material 3D printing you can deposit multiple materials and add a new capability, which is transformation...parts can transform from one shape to another directly on their own… you completely print this part, and it can transform into something else.”

Skylar Tibbits Founder Self-Assembly Lab

"We use 3D printed models for students to practice not only anatomy identification, but also give them combined models where they can actually do some surgical procedures and practice those procedures before they go into an OR or an animal lab."

Jack Stubbs Associate Director, Human Performance in Healthcare University of Central Florida
