Jose Luis Davila Sanchez

Professor I MS3.1 in the Department of Manufacturing and Materials Engineering at FEM-UNICAMP. Mechanical Engineer graduated from Escuela Politécnica Nacional (Ecuador, 2011), with a Masters degree (2014) and a Ph.D. (2018) in Mechanical Engineering from UNICAMP. His research focuses on Materials and Manufacturing Processes, specifically in additive manufacturing (3D printing) of a wide range of materials, including polymers, hydrogels, biomaterials, composite materials, inks, and bioinks. He has extensive experience in developing open-source hardware and software for desktop 3D printers, as well as programming G-code through geometry parameterization. Additionally, he possesses expertise in various material characterization techniques, with a specialization in the rheological characterization of materials for 3D printing by material extrusion. He completed a postdoctoral research project in hybrid manufacturing at the Open 3D Printing Laboratory (LAprint) of the Renato Archer Information Technology Center (CTI). He worked as a project specialist at the Foundation for Support in Information Technology Training (FACTI), contributing to the EMUTISAÚDE project: Multi-User Equipment for IT Applied to Healthcare, funded by FINEP and carried out at CTI Renato Archer. He was one of the founders of the startup 593iCAN Soluções em Impressão 3D Ltda. He is the principal investigator for the FAPESP PIPE Phase 2 project titled Hardware and Software for 3D Printing of Personalized Medications, as well as for the FJD project Development of Standard Semi-Solid Materials for 3D Printing of Personalized Medications, funded by the FAPESP/CNPq agreement.
