Abstract
We will present our recent progress in experiments, theory, and simulations of printing yield stress fluids. I will start with the “classic” Direct Ink Writing methods where soft matters are deposited using a nozzle. We will then continue with a more recent laser based technology. The ultimate goal is to achieve an optimized Laser Induced Forward Transfer (LIFT) system: a nozzle-free ultra-fast printing technology that can be used for two- and three-dimensional printing. We will conclude the talk with a list of wishes and open problems.
