Powder-free Fabrication of Metal and Alloy 3D Objects Through Continuous Liquid Interface Production (CLIP) 3D Printing
Additive manufacturing (3D printing) has enabled rapid fabrication of complex structures with high precision and material efficiency. However, current metal additive manufacturing processes are slow, costly, and limited by poor surface finish due to their layer-by-layer nature. This research aims to overcome these challenges by developing a powder-free, continuous 3D printing approach that integrates dissolved metal ions directly into a water-based resin. This method minimizes light scattering, enhances printing speed and material properties, and reduces waste. The innovation enables sustainable and economical fabrication of high-performance metal components for aerospace, biomedical, and electronic applications.
