Symposium SF03-3D Printing of Functional Materials and Devices
Materials and methods for printing functional devices represent a critical frontier in additive manufacturing that has attracted a growing number of researchers worldwide. The materials compatibility and inherent versatility of 3D printing methods enable rapid prototyping and scalable, low-cost manufacturing for multiscale and multifunctional devices. The future development of this field requires multidisciplinary communication and collaboration from experts across a broad range of science and engineering fields, with materials occupying a central role. This symposium will span several important and interconnected topics, including but not limited to materials and ink development, printing and post-processing methods, and novel device applications, with a unifying theme of controlling and integrating functionality in printed components and systems.
Topics will include:
- Novel materials, inks, and printing methods for functional devices
- Printed devices for energy conversion and storage
- Printed electronics, optoelectronics, and sensors
- Printed flexible/stretchable devices for wearable applications
- Printed programmable materials, soft robotics and autonomous systems
- Printed devices for harsh and extreme environment
- Hybrid and multi-material printing platforms for advanced integration
- Process simulation and control of functional additive manufacturing technologies
- 3D printing of soft functional materials for biological applications
- 3D conformal printing on nonplanar surfaces
- New approaches to improve printing throughput, scale, fidelity, and function
- Emerging areas of functional printing
