We aim to control the co-deposition of functional and structural materials to generate whole systems, as opposed to single material component parts.  Delivering this goal challenges us to establish compatibility at the interfaces where differences in the physical and chemical properties of various materials meet. The Programme’s multi-institution and multidisciplinary team is using state-of-the-art equipment and approaches to analyse such interfaces, thereby accurately modelling and simulating multi-material AM – from constituent materials to multi-functional components – and developing novel materials to manufacture working electronic and bio/pharmaceutical devices.
