Recent research results in fabricating thermal management devices using 3D printing methods are reviewed.
Expanding the Boundaries of 3D Printing Technology
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers introduce a new 3D printing strategy that overcomes the limitations of direct ink writing. Structures can be printed in six different modes, and can even be printed to have different kinetic properties.
3D Printing Resolution Beyond Nozzle Size
Researchers from MIT present a strategy to increase printing resolution beyond the nozzle size, while drawing diverse complex patterns with a linear nozzle path.
3D Printing of Tunable Poisson Ratio Metallic Aerogels
Control over macro- and microstructures, density, conductivity, and Poisson ratio is enabled by this new combined metallic aerogel production technique.
3D Printing with a Silicone Paste
Researchers achieved 3D printing of flexible silicone rubber structures through combining water with solid and liquid forms of silicone into a pasty ink.
3D Printing a Tactile Sensor on a Fingertip
Complex multi-material tactile sensors can be printed in situ; a new route toward the biointegration of various sensors in wearable electronics.
Game-Changing Hybrid 3D Printing
The UK based AMRC developed a hybrid 3D printing process that allows electrical, optical and structural elements to be introduced.
3D Printing Technology: How To Print Transparent Glass?
3D printing technology enables a mold-free formation of freeform transparent glass.
From Nanoinks to Advanced Application via 2D and 3D Printing
Formation, formulation and applications of micro- and nanoparticles for 2D and 3D printing.
3D printing of complex micro-objectives
Researchers at University of Stuttgart created optical lenses which are hardly larger than a human hair.
