Layer By Layer: Professor Develops New 3D Printing Technology

In everything from electronics in cars to the components of commercial airliners are state-of-the-art 3D-printed materials. Their strength and properties depend on what they’re made of and how they’re made.

Inside Tarik Dickens’ lab at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, researchers are fine-tuning the tools used in 3D printing, helping to create better, stronger materials for a wide variety of applications.
