He is engaged in research on mechanical metamaterials, computational design, and digital fabrication, and in the development of technologies to calculate the elasticity and deformation of materials and to design, fabricate, and control them at will through geometric structures. He is certified as an "Unexplored Super Creator" by the Information-technology Promotion Agency, Japan, and as a member of the Cross-cultivation Program by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, Japan.

 

Professor, Department of Mechanical Systems Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Yamagata University
Mr. Hidemitsu Furukawa
He is the head of the Soft and Wet Matter Engineering Laboratory (SWEL) at Yamagata University. after moving to Yamagata University in 2009, he started developing a 3D gel printer, which became the focus of attention when the 3D printer boom came. in April 2018, he established the Yawaraka 3D Co-Creation Consortium, and became its chairman, He also focuses on social implementation of the technology. His research on enhancing 3D digital fabrication of polymer gel, utilizing 3D printers in education, and social implementation of cutting-edge technology has taken the creation of new value from local to global.
