| Abstract: |
The project develops activities in the field of metal-polymer fabrication solutions by allowing the construction of bi-material hybrid parts through the use of an additive process that adds polymer to another, pre-existing object using photopolymerization, a process by which light causes chains of molecules to link together, forming polymers. To accomplish that, the NEXT.parts equipment will feature an evolution of the stereolithography process that applies laser in multiple directions, allowing it to overcome shadow zones. The support software will advise the user about the best construction strategies and generate the construction program. Applications of bi-material hybrid prototype parts, multi-functional parts with sensitive and/or electronic elements and reconstruction of controlled drug delivery implants in healthcare are addressed.
