Main Methods:

  • Comparative analysis of FDM and ES techniques.
  • Examination of output production processes, design components, parameters, and materials for hybrid systems.
  • Discussion of limitations and advantages of the combined approach.

Main Results:

  • Identified Melt Electro Writing (MEW) as the technique combining FDM and ES principles.
  • Presented comparative data on production processes, materials, and design components.
  • Detailed the advantages and limitations of the hybrid FDM-ES platform.

Conclusions:

  • The hybrid FDM-ES platform, or MEW, shows potential for advanced manufacturing.
  • Affordable integration of these techniques is feasible for specific applications.
  • The platform offers significant promise for engineering design and biomedical applications requiring precise micro-structures.
