Additive Manufacturing of Smart Material and Complex Structures

Abstract

Additive Manufacturing (AM), typically referred to as rapid prototyping or three-dimensional (3D) printing has rapidly emerged as a sustainable, highly efficient and intelligent tool. Moreover, recent developments in novel materials and software tools have synergistically expanded the stage for additive manufacturing. Here we present the fabricated 3D printed objects for application in biomedical, sensor, gas filter and fluid flow controllers. The fabricated CO2 gas sensor exhibited the sensitivity of as low as 10 ppm and offered high selectivity towards other gases.
