  • 3D Printing Technologies

Background:

  • Slice-based additive manufacturing is explored for complex 3D structures, focusing on surface curing and resin control for continuous printing.
  • Current multi-material printing methods face challenges with vat switching, compromising construction continuity and simultaneous material deposition within a single layer.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a continuous multi-material additive manufacturing (CMAM) approach.
  • To enable simultaneous multi-material deposition within a single layer and continuous multi-material 3D construction.
  • To achieve controllable multi-material 3D distribution and enhanced interfacial adhesion.

Main Methods:

  • Integration of extruding multi-liquid phases into a droplet-based 3D printing system.
