AcoustoFab-related research has demonstrated acoustic levitation for contactless, voxel-by-voxel deposition of multiple materials, including hydrogels, conductive inks, and biological materials, onto complex and non-planar surfaces.

Recent review work positions acoustics as a pathway towards contactless, scalable, and high-precision manufacturing, including acoustic patterning, acoustic-assisted printing, droplet ejection, and standalone acoustic fabrication.

Levitated polymer droplets have been used to form particles and capsules through controlled drying and phase behaviour, showing the value of substrate-free droplet processing for formulation and materials research.

Acoustic levitation has enabled studies of complex droplets, including evaporation, internal flow, phase separation, compound droplets, viscous droplets, and ferrofluid behaviour without substrate interference.

Acoustic levitation has been combined with imaging, spectroscopy, Raman analysis, MRI/MRS, X-ray scattering, and machine-learning-based droplet analysis to study material properties in a wall-less environment.
