Multi-material 3D printing technology: integrated preparation of polymers and metals
Existing three-dimensional (3D) printing technologies, both polymer-based and metal-based, can only fabricate (only) plastic structures or (only) metal structures, which severely limits the application of additive manufacturing technologies in electronics such as IOT, ICT and robotics. Electronic devices are usually composed of both functional plastics and metals, including sensors and micro-actuators. They are connected together…
