Nozzle Based Localized Ultra Active Micro-Reactor (UAMR) 3D printer

The present project introduces the fabrication of a portable 3D printing apparatus based on a newly developed technology called Direct Sound Printing (DSP) for 3D printing of materials such as Silicones and PDMS that cannot be printed by any other existing technologies unless changing their composition by using additives that can make the material toxic for bioapplications. PDMS (Polydimethylsiloxane) and Silicone, in general, which have a wide range of applications in medicine, automobile, aerospace, and fabrication of industrial parts such as Microfluidic devices and Valves. This project not only expands the variety of 3D printable materials but also promotes the industrial applications of AM technologies among the other manufacturing processes.
