About
Dan Muse is a pioneering researcher in the field of additive manufacturing, with a focus on the 3D printing of complete electromechanical systems. His work has been instrumental in advancing the paradigm shift from 3D printing for conceptual models to the fabrication of functional, end-use products. Muse’s research explores the fabrication freedom offered by additive manufacturing, enabling unit-level customization and local production. A key contribution is his work on hybrid additive manufacturing, which integrates micro-dispensing to embed electrical functionality directly into 3D-printed structures, as demonstrated in his highly cited 2013 paper (70 citations). He has also applied these techniques to the production of CubeSats, showing how on-demand, multi-material printing can revolutionize high-value manufacturing for aerospace applications (28 citations). By championing the creation of conformal, complex geometries with spatial material gradients, Muse is helping to democratize manufacturing and pave the way for a future where entire systems—both mechanical and electrical—are built layer by layer. His work continues to inspire researchers and engineers seeking to push the boundaries of what is possible with additive manufacturing.
