# 3D-printed devices could streamline the production of drug-delivery microparticles

**[MIT News](https://daily.dev/sources/mit)** · 5 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

MIT researchers have developed 3D-printed triaxial electrospray emitter arrays that can produce precise, three-layered microdroplets at scale without expensive semiconductor cleanroom processes. Using vat photopolymerization, they printed 16-nozzle arrays with intricate internal microchannels in just a few hours. The devices generate uniform multilayered droplets suitable for time-release drug delivery capsules, biosensors, and self-healing materials. Key findings include that middle-layer viscosity is critical for droplet stability, and that flow rates and voltages can be tuned to control layer thickness for targeted drug release timing.
