3D Printing of Fluids at Ambient Conditions




Rahul Karyappa, Ph.D.
I am an experimentalist who is curious and passionate about understanding and then manipulating the behavior of the Fluids subjected to various kinds of forces. My current research focusses on 3D printing of fluids by direct ink writing (DIW) approach. I try to understand the effects of the properties of the inks and the printing parameters in DIW on the fidelity of printing. To seek answers for my research problems, I follow dpi (not dots per inch but decide, plan and implement).
