Innovation in action at the UD Center For Composite Materials

Mar 16, 2026

Suresh Advani and Uday Kiran Balaga have developed a game-changing optimization for 3D printing that improves Z-direction strength by 22%. By re-engineering the deposition process at the molecular level, this CCM-developed technology solves a long-standing challenge in FFF-printed components.

We invite our industry partners to explore the licensing and collaboration opportunities shared by the UD Office of Economic Innovation and Partnerships below. Discover how this innovation can be seamlessly integrated into existing 3D printing workflows to enhance part density and mechanical interlocking.
