Simulation of Planar Deposition Polymer Melt Flow and Fiber Orientation in Fused Filament Fabrication [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Mechanical and thermal properties of a 3D printed part are improved by adding discrete carbon fibers to the Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) polymer feedstock. The properties of the fiber-filled composite are significantly influenced by the orientation

Low‐Profile, High‐Gain GRIN RF Lenses via Multi‐Material Vat Photopolymerization

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 53, 2 July 2026.
We investigate the opportunity of leveraging multi‐material vat photopolymerization printing to manufacture intricate lenses exhibiting permittivity gradients that can increase signal gain in transmitted radiofrequency signals in the X‐ and Ku‐bands. Lenses produced with more distinct low‐loss materials (up to 5) can deliver an 18 dB signal gain with a
