While the current AM market has been growing rapidly, it is still built primarily around single material based systems. However, over the last few years we have seen an increase in commercially available multi-material AM systems that are much more material agnostic allowing users to print a wide range of commercial or custom made materials using various integrated print modalities. This opens up the possibility of fabricating complete radiofrequency systems using a single machine.
In this presentation Mark Mirotznik, Ph.D., Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Delaware will discuss recent progress on the use of multi-material additive manufacturing (AM) towards the development of novel radiofrequency devices and systems including conformal integration of printed connectors, baluns, antennas, transmission lines and passive beam steering lenses.
