Hector Fellow Prof. Martin Wegener's research focuses on laser-based 3D printing at the micrometer and nanometer scale. The newly published video is intended to give an insight into this exciting research field.

In his research group, Martin Wegener is working on applying laser-based 3D manufacturing at the micrometer and nanometer scale while continuing to expand it. However, 3D printing does not only offer important and exciting fields of application and research opportunities for science. This technology also plays an essential role for society, especially considering possible applications in the future. The strength of the 3D printing process in the micrometer and nanometer scale is the production of extraordinary objects and components such as cell assemblies or entire organs what other research groups are working on, for example.

As a distinguished expert in the field of nanoscience, Martin Wegeners research interests also include so-called metamaterials, their fabrication using 3D printing, and research on how these metamaterials affect physical energy flows.
