Honors Theses

3D printing technology is a process of synthesizing an object by slicing a three-dimensional object into two-dimensional layers. It is making its mark as it reshapes product development and manufacturing industry in which everyone can participate in the process of 3D printing.The demand for various types of materials is increasing as customers become more innovative with designs. The overarching goal of this project was to create innovative 3D printing materials for a conventional 3D printer. Conductive filaments allow us to 3D print electrically conductive components using almost any commercially available desktop 3D printer. The electrically conductive filament for this research …
