The 3D printed electronics market is set to grow globally, says market intelligence company, Transparency Market Research.

The worldwide market is expected to reach $3,915 Mn by 2026, according to Transparency and projected to expand at a CAGR of 44.46% between 2018-2026.

This market will continue to be influenced by the growing demand for light weight, miniature, and high performance electronic components which find applications where space is a constraint and performance is of pivotal importance, the reports says.

Aerospace and defence is expected to hold the highest market share, as the segment demands highly customised, light weight, and high performance electronic components which can be efficiently realised with the help of 3D printing method, as compared to traditional manufacturing methods, the report outlines.

While the consumer electronics segment is anticipated to grow at the fastest rate, due to the increasing utilisation of 3D printed electronics technology for the production of electronic components which are deployed in various consumer electronic products including wearables, smartphones, drones, and televisions. 

The North America region is anticipated to be at the forefront of global demand, with the market growing at a CAGR of above 43.76% through 2026. The growth is mainly due to the increasing adoption of 3D printing technology in the region in various industry verticals – especially aerospace and defence and across countries, namely the US and Canada – says the report.

Furthermore, 3D printed electronics are gaining popularity across the Asia Pacific region, especially across economies, with China predicted to hold a significant market share.

New process to 3D print graphene developed

　　Researchers from Virginia Tech and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have developed an innovative method to 3D print graphene, which until now has only been available in 2D sheets or basic structures.　　According to engineers at Virginia Tech, they have been able to 3D print graphene objects at a resolution and an order of magnitude greater than ever before, unlocking the ability to, in theory, create any size or shape of graphene.　　Graphene is extremely strong and has high thermal and electricity conductivity. 3D printed graphene objects would be welcomed by a number of industries, including batteries, aerospace, separation, heat management, sensors, and catalysis.　　A single layer of carbon atoms organised in a hexagonal lattice, when graphene sheets are neatly stacked on top of each other and formed into a three-dimensional shape, it becomes graphite. Because graphite is simply packed-together graphene, it has fairly poor mechanical properties. But if the graphene sheets are separated with air-filled pores, the three-dimensional structure can maintain its properties. This porous graphene structure is called a graphene aerogel.　　"Now a designer can design three-dimensional topology comprised of interconnected graphene sheets," said Xiaoyu "Rayne" Zheng, assistant professor with the Department of Mechanical Engineering in the College of Engineering and director of the Advanced Manufacturing and Metamaterials Lab. "This new design and manufacturing freedom will lead to optimisation of strength, conductivity, mass transport, strength, and weight density that are not achievable in graphene aerogels."　　Zheng, also an affiliated faculty member of the Macromolecules Innovation Institute, has received grants to study nanoscale materials and scale them up to lightweight and functional materials for applications in aerospace, automobiles, and batteries.　　Researchers have printed graphene using an extrusion process, but that technique could only create simple objects.　　"With that technique, there's very limited structures you can create because there's no support and the resolution is quite limited, so you can't get freeform factors," Zheng explained. "What we did was to get these graphene layers to be architected into any shape that you want with high resolution."　　To create these complex structures graphene oxide sheets, a precursor to graphene, is crosslinked to form a porous hydrogel. Breaking the graphene oxide hydrogel with ultrasound and adding light-sensitive acrylate polymers, micro-stereolithography is used to create a solid 3D structure with the graphene oxide trapped in the long, rigid chains of acrylate polymer. The 3D structure is then placed in a furnace to burn off the polymers and fuse the object together, leaving behind a pure and lightweight graphene aerogel.　　"We've been able to show you can make a complex, three-dimensional architecture of graphene while still preserving some of its intrinsic prime properties," Zheng said. "Usually when you try to 3D print graphene or scale up, you lose most of their lucrative mechanical properties found in its single sheet form."

3D printed objects use backscatter to communicate using Wi-Fi

　　University of Washington researchers claim to have created 3D plastic objects and sensors that can not only collect useful data, but also communicate with other WiFi-connected devices.　　According to the team, using CAD models being made available to the public, anyone will be able to create objects using commercially available plastics that can communicate wirelessly with other smart devices. Examples suggested by the team include a battery-free slider that controls music volume and a water sensor that sends an alarm when it detects a leak.　　“Our goal was to create something that just comes out of a 3D printer at home and can send useful information to other devices,” said electrical engineering doctoral student Vikram Iyer. “But the big challenge is how do you communicate wirelessly with WiFi using only plastic? That’s something that no one has been able to do before.”　　To produce such objects, the team employed backscatter techniques that allow devices to exchange information. In this instance, some functions normally performed by electrical components were replaced with mechanical motion activated by springs, gears, switches and other parts that can be 3D printed.　　Backscatter systems use an antenna to transmit data by reflecting radio signals emitted by a WiFi router or other device. Information embedded in those reflected patterns can be decoded by a WiFi receiver. In this case, the antenna in the 3D printed object is made of a conductive printing filament that mixes plastic with copper.　　Physical motion triggers gears and springs elsewhere in the 3D printed object that cause a conductive switch to intermittently connect or disconnect with the antenna and change its reflective state. Information is encoded by the presence or absence of the tooth on a gear. Energy from a coiled spring drives the gear system and the width and pattern of gear teeth control how long the backscatter switch makes contact with the antenna, creating patterns of reflected signals that can be decoded by a WiFi receiver.　　The researchers 3D printed several different tools that could sense and send information successfully to other connected devices – a wind meter, a water flow meter and a scale. They also 3D printed WiFi input ‘widgets’, such as buttons, knobs and sliders that can be customised to communicate with other smart devices.　　By using a 3D printing filament that combined plastic with iron, the team also took advantage of magnetic properties to encode static information in 3D printed objects – which, according to the team, could range from barcode identification for inventory purposes or information about the object that tells a robot how to interact with it.
