Rapid chemical reactions changing generally available possibilities
Additive manufacturing (3D printing) has a potential to revolutionize almost every aspect of human endeavor. Currently there are a handful of techniques that allow us to form objects via addition of material. Most used techniques utilize material prepared before printing. Which is deposited and either melted, sintered, or hardened to form desired product.
Among the most important of the 3D printing techniques are:
Reactive Inkjet Printing (RIP) is a method in which a material is formed by chemical reaction during the process of deposition. In this way the material is being created during the deposition which allows for online tunning of the material properties. There is no need to use three different filaments, just two that can be mixed in different proportions.
Advantages a new way of obtaining 3D structures.
Technique allows for printing with polyureas, polyurethanes, silicones acrylates and many others.
Obtained material can be spatially cured allowing for printing with duroplast materials which could not be printed in any other way.
Extension allow on diversification of the materials printed during one print run
The reactive inkjet printing is gaining momentum and is being implemented in several industrial and research applications.
The DRIP Printer is a first commercially available printer capable of printing 3D materials utilizing the reactive inkjet approach.
