“…It is not only a near-net shaping, but also a moldless shaping method, that can be readily categorized into two different types, namely light-based and ink-based 3D printing [6], or into seven different types, according to the classification of American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) 52900:2015 standard [1]. Among those advanced techniques, most of the studies have been focused on metals, ceramics or polymers [7][8][9][10][11], while only a few attempts are applied in shaping glass.…”

Direct Ink Writing Glass: A Preliminary Step for Optical Application

In this paper, we present a preliminary study and conceptual idea concerning 3D printing water-sensitive glass, using a borosilicate glass with high alkali and alkaline oxide contents as an example in direct ink writing. The investigated material was prepared in the form of a glass frit, which was further ground in order to obtain a fine powder of desired particle size distribution. In a following step, inks were prepared by mixing the fine glass powder with Pluoronic F-127 hydrogel. The acquired pastes were rheologically characterized and printed using a Robocasting device. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) experiments were performed for base materials and the obtained green bodies. After sintering, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses were carried out in order to examine microstructure and the eventual presence of crystalline phase inclusions. The results confirmed that the as obtained inks exhibit stable rheological properties despite the propensity of glass to undergo hydrolysis and could be adjusted to desirable values for 3D printing. No additional phase was observed, supporting the suitability of the designed technology for the production of water sensitive glass inks. SEM micrographs of the sintered samples revealed the presence of closed porosity, which may be the main reason of light scattering.

“…If such stability is ensured, the process is basically suitable for large scale, continuous manufacturing and could be specified as one of the unique method that allows precise control over the pore size and pore geometry together with complex geometric possibilities. However, still the method requires additional ingredients, energy input (to shear), and time increasing the cost …”

Closed porosity ceramics and glasses

In the last three decades, considerable effort has been devoted to obtain both open and closed porosity ceramics & glasses in order to benefit from unique combination of properties such as mechanical strength, thermal and chemical stability at low‐relative density. Most of these investigations were directed to the production and the analysis of the properties for open porosity materials, and regrettably quite a few compositions and manufacturing methods were documented for closed porosity ceramics & glasses in the scientific literature so far. This review focuses on the processing strategies, the properties and the applications of closed porosity ceramics & glasses with total porosity higher than 25%. The ones below such level are intentionally left out and the paper is set out to demonstrate the porous components with deliberately generated closed pores/cells. The processing strategies are categorized into five different groups, namely sacrificial templating, high‐temperature bonding of hollow structures, casting, direct foaming, and emulsions. The principles underlying these methods are given, with particular emphasis on the critical issues that affect the pore characteristics, mechanical, thermal and electrical properties of the produced components.

“…The technology of additive manufacturing (AM), initially introduced in 1980s for building models and prototyping, is now commercially available in various forms of 3D printers. Contrary to conventional formative and subtractive manufacturing, the AM alias of 3D printing is capable of manufacturing high quality customizable parts from polymers, metals and ceramics without the expense of moulds or machining [1,2]. Different methods of AM have been developed in last two decades which are classified by American Standards for Testing and Materials (ASTM) as (1) Material Jetting and (2) Extrusion (3) vatphotopolymerization (4) powder bed fusion (5) binder jetting (6) sheet lamination and (7)* direct energy deposition [3].…”

The capabilities and selection of each printing method and materials are detailed elsewhere [1,[4][5][6][7][8][9] and lies beyond the scope of this article. Though, the underlying principal of all AM methods involves the use of a computer aided design (CAD)-based virtual object for controlling the position of a material dispensing/building device.…”

Additive manufacturing and 3D printing in particular have the potential to revolutionize existing fabrication processes where objects with complex structures and shapes can be built with multifunctional material systems. For electrochemical energy storage devices such as batteries and supercapacitors, 3D printing methods allows alternative form factors to be conceived based on the end use application need in mind at the design stage. Additively manufactured energy storage devices require active materials and composites that are printable and this is influenced by performance requirements and the basic electrochemistry. The interplay between electrochemical response, stability, material type, object complexity and end use application are key to realising 3D printing for electrochemical energy storage. Here, we summarise recent advances and highlight the important role of methods, designs and material selection for energy storage devices made by 3D printing, which is general to the majority of methods in use currently.
