Paul Dalton is a futurist, inventor and an academic expert in 3D printing, micro-3D printing, biofabrication, biomaterials, melt electrowriting, advanced manufacturing, scaffold design and hybrid fabrication. Paul works to re-envision the future of advanced manufacturing. He invented melt electrowriting as a distinct class within 3D-printing and developed this technology for biomedical applications. Paul made waves with a 2023 research paper that provided an instruction plan for affordable, open-source microscale 3D printers and, in 2024, published research on using scaffolds for skin reconstruction in vitro.
