Keynote Speakers
Reactive Inkjet Printing in Nanoparticle Manufacturing and Device Applications Ghassan Jabbour, University of Ottawa (Canada)
Reactive inkjet printing (RIJ) is becoming a versatile and promising technique in materials synthesis and device engineering. In this regard, Ghassan Jabbour will discuss the application of RIJ, for the first time, in modifying the sheet resistivity of conducting polymer layers, and in combinatorial mapping of such property. In addition, we will introduce our latest accomplishments in this field, including the self-assembly of nanomaterials, quantum dots, and conductive textile.
From Gutenberg Bible to 4D Printing Shlomo Magdassi, Institute of Chemistry, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem (Israel)
Functional printing brings additional performance of printed patterns, beyond graphic output. Our research is focused on synthesis and formulations of nanoparticles and inks, and their utilization in printed devices and responsive and 3D objects. The formation and application of inks composed of nanoparticles and polymerizable materials in smart windows and electrical circuits will be reported. These inks address major challenges in fabrication of flexible and 3D electronics devices, in which the printing should be performed at sufficiently low temperatures that will not damage the polymeric substrates. New approaches for formation of porous 3D objects and conductive electrodes will be also described, based on using new UV curable oil-in-water emulsion inks, and for rapid 3D and 4D printing in water by using new nanoparticles of photoinitiators. Utilization of 3D and 4D printing technologies for fabrication of objects composed of shape memory polymers, elastomers and hydrogels will be demonstrated, for applications such as soft robotics, delivery systems, responsive connectors, dynamic jewelry and medical devices.
Attractive and Innovative Solutions for Highly Qualified 3D Printing Process Development in Next Generation Takashi Fukue, Department of Systems Innovation Engineering, Iwate University (Japan)
The dawn of 3D printing technologies has ended and it is entering the development phase. Two years ago, due to the slowness of 3D printers, it was understood that much time would be needed to apply 3D printers to production facilities. Now, many types of 3D printers have already been prepared on designer’s desk. Designers are now using 3D printers to make product prototypes. 3D printers are already a useful tool for small-lot and custom-made production, such as in the medical device industry. 3D printers have also established their status as a popular industrial technology.
Soon 3D printer use will be expanded beyond prototype development and customization to become a mass production tool in an assembly line. To effectively use 3D printers as part of this process, advanced printing process controls must be developed to inhibit the occurrence of variations. While in prototypes, individual differences are less important, producing something that is globally competitive requires decreased development and manufacturing costs and an improvement in the quality of 3D printing.
Against this background, this keynote proposes considerations that should be addressed in the next generation of 3D printing processes from the viewpoint of building new products using 3D printers in the assembly line. An important key factor in improving the quality of 3D printing is the effects of heat on the printing process. For example, in the case of fused deposition modeling, the printing quality of the first layer has a dominant effect on the printing accuracy of the whole product. However, due to the occurrence of a distribution of a contraction in a solidification process by temperature distribution, curling can happen. Similar thermal problems are also caused in selective later sintering printers and binder jetting printers. In this lecture, we investigate our understanding of “invisible” thermal problems in the 3D printing processes and how to obtain “next generation attractive quality”.
From Prototyping to Production: Rethinking Materials for Additive Manufacturing, Jason Rolland, Carbon (USA)
Additive manufacturing processes use time-consuming, stepwise layer-by-layer approaches for part fabrication. We demonstrate the continuous production of monolithic polymeric parts with feature resolution below 100 micrometers. Digital Light Synthesis (DLS) is achieved with an oxygen-permeable window below the ultraviolet image projection plane, which creates a “dead zone” (persistent liquid interface) where photopolymerization is inhibited between the window and the polymerizing part. We define critical control parameters and show that complex solid parts can be drawn out of the resin at rates 25-100X that of conventional technologies.
Additionally, we show that DLS enables a wide range of new and commercially relevant materials. These include: tough, resilient elastomers; rigid, impact-resistant plastics with excellent abrasion resistance; flexible materials capable of producing living hinges; high-temperature cyanate ester resins; and other novel polymer formulations. These materials open possibilities across a range of industries including automotive, footwear, medical, aerospace, wearables, and many others.
The combination of rapid, layerless printing with high-performance engineering polymers having a range of mechanical properties represents a major step toward fulfilling the promise of additive manufacturing.
Evolution Theory of Ink Jet Technologies—Progress by Component or Architectural Knowledge,Masahiko Fujii, Fuji Xerox
Ink jet technology has extended its market by upgrading functions and improving performances of a few key components (printhead, ink, and media) under simple marking processes for years. However, this trend has saturated in the personal market and the activation of markets has dulled. In this situation, two directions for ink jet technology progress have become obvious. One is expansion of ink jet to various applications such as digital fabrications utilizing a simple process and the other means challenges (to commercial printing market) against performance limitations derived from imaging process achieved only by the interaction between ink and media.
Differences of technical approaches in each direction also exist. Progress of elemental technology (key components) has been noticeable in extending possibilities. Challenge against limitations has been dazzling in system integration or peripheral technologies progress. The former evolution (concentrating functions progress) can be called incremental innovation and needs component knowledge to improve component performances. The later (sharing functions progress) demands architectural knowledge to test the optimum combination of components (dominant design) maximizing systems performance and is called as architectural innovation.
Generically, venture companies or small start-ups play a role in pushing architectural innovation because they are free from resource allocation mechanism or organizational forms of incremental innovation. But in the current commercial printing market, many big names have introduced printers with different component combinations and the dominant design has not yet been fixed. The shift from incremental innovation to architectural innovation also has occurred in additive manufacturing.
