Abstract: Among the promising techniques within additive manufacturing (AM), direct ink writing (DIW) stands out for its ability to work with a wide range of materials, including polymers, ceramics, glass, metals, and cement. However, ...

Abstract: In the layerbased additive manufacturing (AM) processes, a threedimensional (3D) model is converted into a set of twodimensional (2D) layers. Due to such conversion, one of the major problems in the layerbased AM processes ...

Abstract: This study successfully integrates acoustic patterning with the Two-Photon Polymerization (TPP) process for printing nanoparticle–polymer composite microstructures with spatially varied nanoparticle compositions. Currently, ...

Abstract: Recently, many studies have investigated additive manufacturing (AM) of hierarchical surfaces with high surface area/volume (SA/V) ratios, and their performance has been characterized for applications in next-generation ...

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to present a direct digital manufacturing (DDM) process that is an order of magnitude faster than other DDM processes that are currently available. The developed ...

Abstract: Most additive manufacturing (AM) processes are layerbased with three linear motions in the X, Y, and Z axes. However, there are drawbacks associated with such limited motions, e.g., nonconformal material properties, ...

Abstract: In micro-stereolithograhy (μSL), high-speed fabrication is a critical challenge due to the long delay time for refreshing resin and retaining printed microfeatures. Thus, the mask-image-projection-based micro-stereolithograhy ...

Abstract: To date, several additive manufacturing (AM) technologies have been developed for fabricating smart particle–polymer composites. Those techniques can control particle distributions to achieve gradient or heterogeneous ...
