YP Highlight #17: Alexander Osterbaan
Alexander Osterbaan completed his Ph.D. under Professor Christopher Bowman at the University of Colorado Boulder, where he focused on expanding the processing window of UV-curable systems. He developed dynamic covalent networks that can be rearranged under UV stimulation and then permanently fixed through a sequential curing step and advanced holographic photopolymers that use … [Read more...] about YP Highlight #17: Alexander Osterbaan
RIP Additive Manufacturing Hype
The hype cycle for additive manufacturing (AM) finally has run its course. For more than a decade, the industry was propelled forward by bold claims, inflated expectations and unfounded speculation. Like most bubbles, irrational liquidity fueled a wave of hubris that outpaced the industry’s actual ability to deliver. When the perceived value of limitless potential drastically … [Read more...] about RIP Additive Manufacturing Hype
