What is Material jetting for advanced applications: A state-of-the-art review, gaps and future directions about?

The proven ability of additive manufacturing (AM, also known as 3D printing) to fabricate complex components with substantial reductions in material wastage and reduced lead times has made it a key enabling technology for numerous important industrial applications. Of current AM processes, material jetting (MJ) is demonstrating considerable potential for producing multi-material, intricate, 3D components and systems with integrated functionality, with the additional benefit that the process can be easily integrated with other manufacturing procedures. However, material jetting of functional materials to produce advanced applications still poses numerous technological challenges which hinder its full industrial exploitation. These extend from the limited range of high-performance materials with consistent properties usable for MJ, through the need to enhance the process itself by optimizing the droplet formation process, tuning waveforms for specific processes, modification of substrate and substrate/jetted material interactions, the complexities of curing and post-processing procedures, and the challenge of characterizing the 3D printed parts. In this context, this article attempts
