Additive manufacturing frontier: 3D printing electronics
Journal Title: Opto-Electronic Advances - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
3D printing is disrupting the design and manufacture of electronic products. 3D printing electronics offers great potential to build complex object with multiple functionalities. Particularly, it has shown the unique ability to make embedded electronics, 3D structural electronics, conformal electronics, stretchable electronics, etc. 3D printing electronics has been considered as the next frontier in additive manufacturing and printed electronics. Over the past five years, a large number of studies and efforts regarding 3D printing electronics have been carried out by both academia and industries. In this paper, a comprehensive review of recent advances and significant achievements in 3D printing electronics is provided. Furthermore, the prospects, challenges and trends of 3D printing electronics are discussed. Finally, some promising solutions for producing electronics with 3D printing are presented.

Recent advances in nonlinear optics for bio-imaging applications
Nonlinear optics, which is a subject for studying the interaction between intense light and materials, has great impact on various research fields. Since many structures in biological tissues exhibit strong nonlinear opt...
Ultra-low cost Ti powder for selective laser melting additive manufacturing and superior mechanical properties associated
One of the bottleneck issues for commercial scale-up of Ti additive manufacturing lies in high cost of raw material, i.e. the spherical Ti powder that is often made by gas atomization. In this study, we address this sign...
Speckle reduction using phase plate array and lens array
In this paper, a solution for speckle reduction using phase plate array (PPA) and lens array (LA) in a motionless way is proposed. The specially designed PPA is composed of sub-phase plates, which are constituted by phas...
A review on control methodologies of disturbance rejections in optical telescope
Structural vibrations in Tip-Tilt modes usually affect the closed-loop performance of astronomically optical telescopes. In this paper, the state of art control methods—proportional integral (PI) control, linear quadrati...
Imaging the crystal orientation of 2D transition metal dichalcogenides using polarization-resolved second-harmonic generation
We use laser-scanning nonlinear imaging microscopy in atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) to reveal information on the crystalline orientation distribution, within the 2D lattice. In particular, we pe...
