Graduate students Monsur Islam and Rucha Natu with Professor Rodrigo Martinez-Duarte of the Multiscale Manufacturing Laboratory, published a study on the limitations of using a relatively inexpensive commercial cutter plotter in the development of microfluidic devices. Xurography, or the use of a blade to pattern a film, has been used to fabricate devices out of […]
Haley Meier and McKinnon Reece participated in the EUREKA! Program in the Multiscale Manufacturing Laboratory (www.multiscalemanufacturing.net) during the Summer of 2015. Under the mentoring of Professor Rodrigo Martinez-Duarte and doctoral student Monsur Islam, these incoming freshmen developed a process to fabricate origami shapes out of carbon and carbon composites. The process exploits the fact that […]
