In article number 1401539, Doojin Vak and co‐workers describe a new way of developing and sharing processes for the fabrication of solution‐processed solar cells by using a modified 3D printer. The printer is controlled by a text‐based standard digital protocol that can be used in any compatible printers. The results suggest a new paradigm of sharing processes between machines, labs, and eventually factories.
