Advances in Multi-Material, Multifunctional Additive Manufacturing for 3D Printed Electronics and Pharmaceuticals
Thursday 18th March 2021 (13.00-16.00 UK time)
wWth single material conventional Additive Manufacturing (AM) now being routinely industrially deployed, research interest is now moving towards understanding how to exploit the AM approach for multi-material, multifunctional AM.
With a focus on multi-material, functional 3D Printed Electronics and Pharmaceuticals, in this mini-conference, researchers from the EPSRC funded Programme Grant: Enabling Next Generation Additive Manufacturing (Next Gen AM*) presented their research on multifunctional AM. They explained how, by controlling the co-deposition (interfacing) of both functional and structural materials, the reach of AM technologies can be extended beyond the well understood geometric freedoms they currently enable.
This Next Gen AM spotlight event was also delighted to welcome Professor Martin Wegener from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), who gave an introductory keynote speech on printing at the nano-scale.
The event was a great success with positive feedback and an international audience of 170 attendees.
