About

Dr. Jenna Garber is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of advanced manufacturing and robotics, whose work is reshaping how we think about 3D printing on complex surfaces. Her primary research areas include additive manufacturing, stereolithography (SLA), and conformal fabrication techniques. Dr. Garber’s most significant contribution is her development of conformal robotic stereolithography, a groundbreaking method that liberates SLA from its traditional reliance on flat, planar substrates. Her seminal 2016 paper on the topic, which has garnered 22 citations, demonstrates how robotic arms can guide the printing process to fabricate precise polymer structures directly onto curved, non-planar surfaces. This innovation unlocks new possibilities for producing custom electronics, biomedical implants, and advanced sensors that must integrate seamlessly with irregular geometries. By merging the high resolution and material versatility of SLA with the dexterity of robotics, Dr. Garber has opened a vital new pathway for on-demand, multi-material manufacturing. Her work stands as a key reference for engineers and researchers seeking to push the boundaries of what can be printed, where it can be printed, and how it can be integrated into the real world.
