Summer School on 3D Printing Technologies

07/31/2018

At the mid of July (16.7.18-20-07.18) the Summer School of the Faculty of Chemistry and Pharmacy was held at the Röntgenring within the beautiful Külpe lecture hall. The topic of this year summer school was 3D Printing Technologies with a special focus on Melt Electrowriting techniques.

The summer school event was held by the chair of functional materials in dentistry and medicine Jürgen Groll and was organized by Professor Paul Dalton. We had the opportunity to have 15 international speakers and 6 local speakers giving exciting talks. The in total 41 participating students and 25 external students from all over the world had the opportunity to show their own scientific work within a poster presentation. The participants showed various backgrounds starting at the master level and end up at the post-doctoral level. The talks of the speakers gave insights into the basics of 3D printing technologies and span up a range from 3D Bioprinting to Melt Electrowriting to Metal Printing and on Friday also to an industrial perspective.

We were very happy to be had the opportunity to welcome Brian Derby and Vladimir Mironov who are two of the fathers of 3D Bioprinting. Besides the scientific very broad program we also had various social activities which helped the participants to connect with each other and learn something about Würzburg, the university and the Franconian cultural specifics.

After five intense days of discussions and scientific input we are very happy that we were able to bring this young people together which results in a connection via social medias as well and results in a Facebook group. In that manner the effect of this summer school will last even longer. 

Special thanks go to the Federal Ministry of Education and Research which provided the funding for this summer school and enabled us to have had a scientifically very diverse and interesting program.
