ABSTRACT
This presentation provides an overview of recent advances in 3D printing and digital fabrication. At the heart of these processes is the desire to translate three-dimensional objects designed in the virtual space of the computer into tangible objects. Additive and subtractive processes at a staggering array of scales are being used in a variety of disciplines to produce tangible prototypes and sculptures with increasingly varied functional and material properties---from electronic circuits at nanometer scales, to biological substrates, to high-density tooling, to architecturally-scaled structures and functional firearms.

Fabrication of stamps for microcontact printing by injection molding
Microcontact printing has been shown to be a viable lithographic technique for the fabrication of a variety of microelectronic components, including source/drain and gate electrodes for organic field effect transistors. Future manufacturing efforts may ...
Fabrication of a Glucose Biosensor by Piezoelectric Inkjet Printing
SENSORCOMM '09: Proceedings of the 2009 Third International Conference on Sensor Technologies and ApplicationsGlucose oxidase (GOx) is used as an immobilized enzyme in blood glucose level sensors. Conventional single used sensors are fabricated by screen printing enzyme suspensions or pastes, or photolithography method to immobilize the enzyme onto carbon black ...
Rapid fabrication of semiellipsoid microlenses using 3D-printing and roll-to-roll imprinting process
A simple and rapid method for fabricating semiellipsoid microlens arrays (SEMA) is proposed. An elliptic-array substrate made of resin was first designed and fabricated by twice rollover method with a mold produced by 3D printing. Then droplets of UV ...
