As 3D printing continues to mature, we look at the technology’s latest trends as well as continuing challenges that must be tackled
Where one engineer may require a surface that is as reflective as a mirror, another may want a product that absorbs as much light as possible. How do you achieve both material properties?
In this video we start with a recap on why you would choose MJF rather than other 3D printing technologies and explore TPU, looking at the advantages of the material and how it can be used.

As one of the most durable low-cost filaments, ABS is an essential material for most 3D printer users. But ABS print speed can be a limitation on productivity.
EHD is a promising digital printing technology for going beyond the resolution limits of inkjet. Most examples showcase electronic or display related applications.
As microLEDs inevitably shrink in size, the micro-bumping requirements for the microLED dies becomes more challenging. Direct wafer-based printing based on gravure offset techniques offers a promising solution in this regard. Indeed, this is another field where printed electronics can play a role.
Nano-Ops is commercialising an automated wafer-based process and fab-in-a-box based on the directed assembly technology which can 'print' features down to 20nm. Here, In the first step a pattern is first etched into a template wafer.

The progress of screen printing towards fine line printing has been incredible going from 100 µm features before 2010 to 70 µm to 2015 to 40 µm in 2018 and now pushing - in development- towards 20 µm and less. In parallel, the wet thickness of the printed line have gone down from 12um or so in 2018 to now just 4um.
To scale up microLED displays to large areas, smaller displays can be titled. Because microLEDs can be truely edge-less devices, the tiling can function, yielding a seemless look.
Stretchable Electronics and inks for durable wearable electronics. These inks can be printed on TPU films which can be bonded to fabrics. This results in devices that stretch without cracking and maintain excellent electrical properties. Examples include biometric sensors & fixed resistance heaters
Silver nanoparticle inks improve every year. These improvements are often incremental, but very important. One ever-present direction of development is towards inks which offer ever higher conductivity levels at a low curing temperature and a short curing time. This a critical figure of merit because it opens more substrate choices, saves time, and lowers energy consumption costs.
The causes behind 3D printing delamination and eight ways to improve inter-layer adhesion for stronger 3D prints.
Whether you’re using the classic, V2, or Pro model, the Creality Ender 3 is a reliable entry-level 3D printer. Here we take a look at the various Ender 3 nozzle sizes you can use.
Printed batteries offer thinness and flexibility, enabling new applications, but their production is deceivingly complex. Gunter Hübner from Stuttgart Media University offered some insights at the e-Swiss conference last week.
