MULTIMATERIAL 3D-PRINTING OF FUNCTIONAL CERAMIC DEVIC-ES
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
In recent years, there has been a trend towards miniaturization of functional ceramic devices while improving their characteristics. At the same time, the process of rapid prototyping becomes much more complicated and the cost increases when using classical production technologies. Being an evolving technology, multimaterial 3D printing is able not only to create ceramic products of complex shapes (including those inaccessible when using classical technologies), but also to accelerate the prototyping speed by orders of magnitude with a significant reduction in cost. This article reviews the latest developments in the field of multimaterial 3D printing techniques, as well as a compre-hensive study of functional ceramic materials and processes suitable for 3D printing for various functional ceramic devic-es, including capacitors, multilayer substrates and microstrip antennas. In addition, the key problems and prospects of functional ceramic devices with 3D printing from several materials were identified and future directions were discussed.
