When considering the ultimate limits of AM and pushing these limits\u2014both technologically and operationally\u2014we must collectively advance new materials, processes, hardware, and computational methods for design and production planning. In this realm I will present selected research including: (1) wavelength-selective photopolymerization to build complex parts with minimal post-processing; (2) printed pantographic lattices and clutches, derived from understanding the limits of jetting-based polymer AM; (3) methods for spatially tailored metal printing. I will also share my reflections on teaching AM for the past ten years, and I will introduce MIT\u2019s Initiative for New Manufacturing which launched in 2025.<\/p><p><strong>Speaker Biography:<\/strong><br \/>Professor John Hart is the Class of 1922 Professor and Head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at MIT.
