| Scope |
3D printing has enabled rapid responsiveness, convenient operation, and a high personalization level. Also, it has the advantage of significantly reducing material waste due to its additive characteristics and decentralized productions. Our conference session will provide a comprehensive talk series on commonly used 3D printing involving polymers, ceramics, and their composite or hybrid systems to understand manufacturing-material compatibility and inspire new processing mechanisms. Considering the close relationship between manufacturing mechanisms and material properties, we will include in this conference presentation discussing critical challenges in 3D printed material systems, especially critical manufacturing factors in printing polymer and/or ceramic nanocomposites. |
