SEASON 02 EPISODE 02

The versatility of 3D printing for device fabrication

1st June, 2026

Hemdeep Patel, Robin Boshoven, Dr. Dario Bogojevic, Niloofar Ghasenzaie and Stephanie McGinnity

How are researchers applying 3D printing across different areas of research?

 

That is what we explore in this episode with Scientific Application Specialist Dario Bogojevic, Doctoral Researcher Niloofar Ghasenzaie, and Graduate Researcher Stephanie McGinnity. Together, we discuss the impact 3D printing has had across their diverse research areas, highlighting the development of 3D printed devices for applications including microbubble generation and fiber fabrication.

 

So whether you’re passionate about microfluidics, emerging research, or just curious about the capabilities of 3D printing in biomedical engineering, this series is for you.
