Directed Energy Deposition 3D Glass Printing (DED) for Realizing Customized Optical Sensors

Original language description

3D printing or additive manufacturing constructs parts and products additively layer by layer, allowing the realization of complex and sophisticated designs [1]; 3d printing offers high efficiency, customizability, and a low cost when compared to traditional manufacturing [2] and printed parts dimensions can be tiny as few micrometers in the case of Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) [3,4] or enormous as few meters in the case of printing complete houses [5,6]. Glass 3D printing can realize glass parts faster, more precisely, and with lower energy than traditional glass manufacturing technologies. Moreover, functional optical parts can be acquired using this technology. In general, the published technologies of 3D glass printing may be divided into the following approaches: Indirect acquisition (a “green/initial body” is obtained from 3D printing; subsequently, the object requires postprocessing to acquire the object in a glass state)[7,8]. Direct acquisition (the object is entirely produced in its final state after the 3D printing) [9]. Directed Energy Deposition (DED) represents a 3D printing technique wherein a concentrated energy source, like a plasma arc, laser, or electron beam, is employed to liquefy a material while it is concurrently placed using a nozzle [10]. DED is a promising printing technology that could be used to print glass objects. This study aims to realize 3D glass printing using DED technology and reach optimized printing conditions to ensure the printed structure‘s quality and homogeneity. This work introduces DED glass 3D printing technology that can be used to print different complex glass structures, particularly optical sensors or functional optical parts.
