About

Connor Myant is an innovative researcher at the intersection of advanced manufacturing, materials science, and biomedical engineering, whose work is reshaping the boundaries of 3D printing technology. He is perhaps best known for his contributions to multi-axis additive manufacturing, most notably through the development of Open5x — an accessible framework for 5-axis 3D printing and conformal slicing that addresses longstanding limitations of conventional layer-by-layer fabrication, including structural anisotropy and excessive support material use. This work has garnered 33 citations, reflecting its significant uptake within the engineering and fabrication communities. Myant has also made notable strides in the emerging field of stimuli-responsive smart materials. His research on 3D printed superparamagnetic hydrogels — including starfish-shaped architectures responsive to magnetic fields — opens exciting possibilities for soft robotics, wearable electronics, and biomedical devices, accumulating 25 citations since 2023. Complementing this, his more recent investigations into stable SPION-infused photo-resins tackle critical challenges in integrating magnetic nanoparticles into high-resolution printing systems. Collectively, Myant's body of work demonstrates a rare ability to bridge hardware innovation with advanced functional materials, making him an increasingly influential voice in next-generation manufacturing research.
