About
Marco A. B. Andrade is a leading figure in acoustic levitation and contactless fabrication, with a focus on manipulating matter using sound waves. His most celebrated contribution is the development of **LeviPrint**, a groundbreaking system that enables the assembly of objects without physical contact. By engineering optimal acoustic fields, Andrade achieved full trapping—controlling both the position and orientation of elongated parts like sticks, a feat previously considered highly challenging. This work, published in 2022 and already garnering 34 citations, demonstrates the practical potential of ultrasonic levitators for additive manufacturing and precision assembly. Andrade’s research bridges fundamental acoustics and applied engineering, offering a pathway to contamination-free fabrication in fields ranging from electronics to biomedicine. His systematic evaluation of levitator capabilities has set new benchmarks for stability and control in acoustic trapping, inspiring further innovation in contactless handling. Through LeviPrint, Andrade has not only advanced the science of sound-driven manipulation but also opened doors to a future where objects can be built from thin air.
