JNJake L. NicholsonQMQuentin Michaudel

Key Points

  • The aim is to explore how light intensity can control the properties of thermoplastics during the 3D printing process.
  • Utilized light exposure to vary thermoplastic properties during 3D printing
  • Analyzed the effects of different light intensities on material behavior
  • Conducted experiments to observe spatial tuning of properties
  • Demonstrated that different light intensities can effectively alter thermoplastic behavior
  • Showed improvements in material resolution and precision during 3D printing
  • Observed potential for customizing material properties in real-time

Abstract

Thermoplastic properties are spatially tuned with light intensity during three-dimensional (3D) printing
