This document condenses the results obtained when 3D printing lenses and their potential use as diffraction gratings using Digital Light Processing (DLP), as an additive manufacturing technique. This project investigated the feasibility of using DLP additive manufacturing for producing custom designed lenses and gratings. DLP was identified as the preferred manufacturing technology for gratings fabrication. Diffraction gratings take advantage of the anisotropy, inherent in additive manufacturing processes, to produce a collated pattern of multiple fringes on a substrate with completely smooth surfaces. The gratings are transmissive and were manufactured with slit separations of 10, 25 and 50 μm. More than 50 samples were printed at various build angles and mechanically treated for maximum optical transparency. The variables of the irradiance equation were obtained from photographs taken with an optical microscope. These values were used to estimate theoretical irradiance patterns of a diffraction grating and compared against the experimental 3-D printed grating. The resulting patterns were found to be remarkably similar in amplitude and distance between peaks when compared to theoretical values.

Additive manufacturing techniques (i.e., 3D printing) are rapidly becoming one of the most popular methods for the preparation of materials to be employed in many different fields, including biomedical applications. The main reason is the unique flexibility resulting from both the method itself and the variety of starting materials, requiring the combination of multidisciplinary competencies for the optimization of the process. In particular, this is the case of additive manufacturing processes based on the extrusion or jetting of nanocomposite materials, where the unique properties of nanomaterials are combined with those of a flowing matrix. This contribution focuses on the physico-chemical challenges typically faced in the 3D printing of polymeric nanocomposites and polymeric hydrogels intended for biomedical applications. The strategies to overcome those challenges are outlined, together with the characterization approaches that could help the advance of the field.

A number of additive manufacturing processes were analyzed and compared in regards to the direct 3D printing of copper induction coils. The purpose of this study was to narrow in on 3D printing technologies that would best be suited for the manufacture of copper inductions coils. The main focus of the study was to look at how all the available additive processes could specifically be successful at creating parts made of copper pure enough to effectively conduct electricity and also geometries complex enough to meet the demands of various induction coil designs. The results of this study led to three main categories of additive manufacturing that were deemed good choices for producing copper induction coils, these included: powder bed fusion, sheet lamination, and directed energy deposition. Specific processes identified within these categories were powder bed fusion using electron beam melting and laser melting; ultrasonic additive manufacturing; and directed energy deposition utilizing laser melting and electron beam melting using both wire and powder material delivery systems. Also discussed was additional benefits that using 3D printing technology could provide beyond the physical manufacturing portion by opening doors for coupling with computer aided drafting (CAD) and computer aided engineering (CAE) software in order to create a seamless design-to-production process.
