“…With further refinement in our 3D printing techniques, we conclude that direct-write 3D printing is a viable form of manufacturing for filter devices. Later on, we envision filters being more 3D, arbitrary, and saving space and weight [20].…”

In this work, two different high-frequency filters were produced, and each was manufactured in two different ways, one using conventional PCB technology and the other using hybrid 3D printing. The hybrid 3D printing technique combined the use of microdispensing of conductive inks and fused filament fabrication (FFF) of thermoplastic substrates. Measurements, properties, and comparisons between these filters are discussed. The goal of the research was to benchmark 3D printing of highfrequency filters to more confidently manufacture sophisticated devices and high-frequency systems by hybrid 3D printing.

“…A significant challenge with MJT 3DP inks is the fact that the process is best suited to less viscous inks [75], [81]. Because of the need to consider material viscosity, inks can only be loaded with conductive and other particles to a limit before being incompatible with the printing process [58], [82].…”

3D printing technologies (3DP) leverage the benefits of additive manufacturing across many areas including electronics, food, medicine and optics. These technologies allow varying materials to be precision deposited, forming structures ranging from simple to complex composites such as organs and satellites. One important application for 3DP is printed electronics which is expected to exceed USD10 billion in market value by 2030. However, while considerable work has been reported in areas including inter alia: mechanical, thermal and multiple aspects, there has been less emphasis on the critical electromagnetic (EM) domain. In the EM domain, related work for 3DP encompasses interrelated EM studies of materials, processes and built structures and examines material characteristics including permittivity, permeability, electrical conductivity, which are foundational to 3D printed electronics design and fabrication. This paper presents a comprehensive report of 3DP technologies as applied to EM research & development (R&D) and end applications in order to inspire exploratory work in related areas by providing sufficient breadth for newcomers and depth for experts. The paper contributions include: summarization of the major R&D and applications areas for 3DP, thereby quantifying the prevalence of EM related work; examination of mainstream 3DP technologies applied to EM related R&D and end applications based on their materials, technology highlights and known issues; examination of relevant research which incorporates traditional printing, proprietary methods and composite 3DP methods; and classification of 3DP built EM structures as reported by research teams. Finally, the key challenges and opportunities for future research are identified and discussed.

“…Both were extended with custom plugins to import electronic component models from Eagle schematic files, which are then cut-out from the plastic object. Carranza et al [18] introduced a similar approach to import existing netlists and component geometries into a Blender plugin. None of the aforementioned uses robotic placing during or even after the printing process.…”

Screws are often used to connect 3-D printed parts to other objects. When screwing directly into printed plastic, the reliability is limited, and the connection can wear out over time. For more reliable connections, standard metal nuts are often inserted into slots designed into the object. This article presents an approach where nuts and other ferromagnetic components are integrated directly into the part while printing it. Our prototype machine is a modified Prusa-I3 fused filament fabrication printer with an electromagnetic pick and place tool. We introduce augmented slicing software, where the user can insert generic component models from a library and place them at arbitrary positions in the object. Cavities for the components and additional G-code commands for robotic placing are automatically generated and sent to the printer. A printed component tray is attached to the printbed, allowing different part configurations for each print. The pick and place unit is controlled by our OctoPrint plugin OctoPNP.
