UTEP Researchers 3D-Print Battery Component That Could Reshape How Devices Are Powered

This article was originally posted on Manufacturing Industry News and eMagazine - Recent News .
Summary
UTEP researchers have demonstrated 3D printing of custom-shaped, high‑performance battery components under ordinary (ambient) conditions—suggesting simpler manufacturing, new device form factors, and a potential shift in how electronics are powered.

If batteries could be printed in any shape at room conditions, which products or industries do you think would be transformed first, and why?

Custom-shaped cells could solve some ugly packaging machine enclosures, but in food plants the gate is cycle life, vibration, and washdown. Do they have data or a path to UL 2054/IEC 62133 and UN38.3, and any exposure testing with caustic/peracetic CIP or IP69K spray to show these printed materials don’t swell, shed, or leak?
