Multi-material vat photopolymerization 3D printing: a review of mechanisms and applications

Saroj Subedi, Siying Liu, Wenbo Wang et al. · 6 Nov 2024

Vat photopolymerization (VPP) is originally considered a single-material process due to cumbersome and time-consuming material switching. Multi-material VPP has been continuously explored with significant switching time reductions realized in recent years, enabling rapid, functional device printing. In addition, VPP hybridization has been explored, enabling printed objects comprising of diverse UV-curable and functional materials. Herein, the…

Additively manufactured metallic TPMS lattice structures: design strategies, fabrication, multifunctional properties, and applications

Jiuyi Li, Li Wang, Xing He et al. · 31 Oct 2025

The utilization of the triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) has emerged as a highly effective approach for designing lattice structures due to its smooth surfaces, intricately connected lattice structures, and precisely controlled geometric properties. However, the full potential of metallic TPMS lattice structures remains underexplored due to three primary challenges: (i) the computational complexity involved…

Multi-material laser powder bed fusion: effects of build orientation on defects, material structure and mechanical properties

Jacklyn Griffis, Kazi Safowan Shahed, Kenneth C. Meinert et al. · 4 Mar 2025

Multi-Material Laser Powder Bed Fusion (MM-LPBF) offers a novel approach for fabricating high-resolution components with both spatially tailored material properties and design by leveraging selective powder deposition (SPD) in conventional LPBF processing. This study analyzes the effect of build orientation as a contributing factor to material compatibility, process-induced defects, and interfacial formation mechanisms to elucidate…

Data-driven modeling of process-structure-property relationships in metal additive manufacturing

Zhaoyang Hu, Wentao Yan · 12 Sep 2024

Metal additive manufacturing (AM) faces challenges in rapid selection and optimization of manufacturing parameters for desired part quality. As a more efficient alternative to experiments and high-fidelity physics-based models, data-driven modeling is effective in understanding process–structure–property relationships. This brief review explores data-driven modeling in metal AM, focusing on “process”, “structure”, and “property”, further identifying limitations…

Advances and perspectives in multi-material additive manufacturing of heterogenous metal-polymer components

Shah Md Ashiquzzaman Nipu, Tengteng Tang, Dylan Joralmon et al. · 16 Jul 2025

Metal-polymer heterogeneous architectures enable the integration of mechanical, electrical, and thermal functionalities within a single structure, offering new possibilities in multifunctional systems. With advances in multi-material additive manufacturing (MMAM), it is now feasible to fabricate complex hybrid structures with high spatial resolution by combining dissimilar materials. This review highlights recent innovations across two key fabrication…
