    Details

    Description

    The Multi-Ink Robocaster is a custom-built 3D printing system designed for the fabrication of complex, multifunctional structures using up to three different colloidal inks simultaneously. It enables precise control over ink composition and environmental conditions during printing, making it ideal for developing hybrid materials and ceramic scaffolds.

    Technology: Robocasting (Direct Ink Writing)
    Capabilities: Simultaneous extrusion of up to 3 colloidal inks

    Special Features:
    Custom integrated mixing nozzle for real-time ink composition control
    Operates under varied environmental conditions
    Supports hybrid multifunctional material development
    Suitable for ceramic scaffold fabrication

    Applications:
    Structural materials research
    Biomedical scaffolds
    Functional ceramics
    Post-processing via coating and high-temperature sintering
