Symposium Q

3D Printing applied to the development of advanced materials


Scope of the Symposium

3D printing has not only fastened the development of new materials construction solutions, but also driven a renewed interest in existing architectures in materials science and novel designs. The focus of this symposium will be to discuss the state-of-the-art in the development of materials using the 3D-printing technique. Several advances in this field were achieved in the last decade which show the possibilities of using tailored materials, at micro- and nanometric dimensions, for technological applications. The 3D printing is a process for rapid manufacturing objects from 3D model data. Through this process, materials such as metals, ceramics and polymers can be joined to make objects with designed functionalities. Despite achievements in the development of printable materials with improved performance are realistic, some challenges still exist. This symposium will provide multidisciplinary viewpoints on the state-of-the-art on 3D printing science/technology for engineered materials beyond discussions involving physics, chemistry, biology, and other topics. Materials selection, manufacturing objects, final properties and applications will be the main topics of this symposium. Perspectives on the future directions on 3D printing on materials science will also be discussed.
