Additively Manufactured Microdevice: Materials Chemistry & Process Control

This lecture explores the pathways to creating additively manufactured microdevices by delving into materials chemistry, process control, and microstructure tuning. The instructor, Ralph Spolenak, presents examples of multimaterial nanoadditive manufacturing, discusses the challenges of size effects on properties, and showcases the limits in processing conditions. The lecture also covers topics such as direct small-scale additive manufacturing of metals, electrochemical processes, and the development of metal micro 3D printing techniques.
