This cross area is dedicated to the upscaling of fabrication and in-device exploitation of Blue Materials. It is a key aspect of BlueMat to combine self-assembly/organization material structuring on the molecular and nm-scale with 3D printing and lithography on the μm- and mm-scale, and scalable fabrication on the device scale.

Furthermore, this cross area aims at making blue materials experienceable and tangible for the public. To this end, engineering and artistics methods are combined. Artist Jenna Sutela was appointed as research professor at HFBK offering a PhD class in Art Practice
