MATERIALS PROCESSING:
The Power of Direct Writing

Douglas B. Chrisey

In a direct-write approach, micrometer-scale structures are built directly without the use of masks, allowing rapid prototyping. Direct-write approaches are enabling faster, cheaper manufacture of electronic components and are also used for tissue engineering and array-based biosensors. In his Perspective, Chrisey provides a short overview of current research in the area of direct-write technologies, focusing on the materials science aspects.
