About

Kathleen Hajash is a pioneering researcher in advanced manufacturing, best known for her groundbreaking work in large-scale additive manufacturing. Her most cited paper, "Large-Scale Rapid Liquid Printing" (2017, 104 citations), directly tackles the core limitations of conventional 3D printing—small build volumes, slow print speeds, and restricted material choices. Hajash’s key contribution lies in developing a novel technique that enables the rapid fabrication of large, complex structures using liquid materials, a significant departure from traditional layer-by-layer methods. This work has profound implications for moving 3D printing from rapid prototyping to true manufacturing, opening new possibilities in architecture, furniture design, and industrial production. By demonstrating that large-scale objects can be printed in minutes rather than hours, Hajash has helped redefine the speed and scale of digital fabrication. Her research continues to inspire innovations in material science and manufacturing, positioning her as a leading voice in the future of production technology.
