AbstractThe 3D Printing (3DP) industry has witnessed tremendous growth over the past decade. Much of the technology's growth stems from the fact that it allows virtually anyone to quickly and easily turn their ideas into functional prototypes. This talk will provide a short introduction to the wide range of 3D printing technologies in use today. One of the most exciting recent developments in 3D printing involves the use of “digital materials”. In the same way that color documents are produced with multiple ink or toner cartridges, multi-material 3D printed parts can be produced by locally printing blends of different materials in any desired proportion. The resulting part's material properties can therefore be optimized for a given application and need not be uniform. As exciting as multi-material 3D printing is, it opens up a number of computing challenges for part design, geometry optimization, and file preparation. This talk will describe these challenges/opportunities in the context of recent multi-material 3D printing research projects at RIT's Additive Manufacturing and Multifunctional Printing (AMPrint) Center.
