About

Cindy Eide is a pioneering researcher in advanced manufacturing, with a focus on adaptive 3D printing and functional materials. Her most-cited work, “3D Printed Functional and Biological Materials on Moving Freeform Surfaces” (2018, 242 citations), introduces a transformative closed-loop approach that integrates real-time feedback control with direct ink writing. This innovation overcomes the limitations of conventional open-loop, calibrate-then-print methods, enabling the fabrication of functional and biological materials directly onto moving, non-planar surfaces. Eide’s contributions have opened new possibilities for printing on dynamic substrates, with implications for soft robotics, biomedical devices, and wearable electronics. Her research is widely recognized for bridging the gap between additive manufacturing and adaptive control, earning her a strong citation record and influence in the field. By demonstrating how to print on freeform surfaces with precision and adaptability, Eide has established herself as a key figure in the evolution of smart, responsive 3D printing technologies.
