Abstract:Multimaterial additive
manufacturing incorporates multiple
species
within a single 3D-printed object to enhance its material properties
and functionality. This technology could play a key role in distributed
manufacturing. However, conventional layer-by-layer construction methods
must operate at low volumetric throughputs to maintain fine feature
resolution. One approach to overcome this challenge and increase production
capacity is to structure multimaterial components in the printhead
prior to deposition. He… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
