DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nThe Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology\, also k
 nown as 3D-printing technology\, offers several interesting and attractive
  features\, including fast prototyping\, geometry flexibility\, easily cus
 tomizable products\, and low cost (in some cases). However\, using such te
 chnologies for microwave devices is not straightforward as AM has not been
  specifically developed for microwave components\, and in most cases\, som
 e adaptation and post-processing is necessary. Furthermore\, there are man
 y AM technologies available\, and it is important to understand their char
 acteristics before selecting one.\n\nIn the presentation\, an overview of 
 the different AM technologies available will be provided. Additionally\, a
 n analysis of some of the most common AM technologies used for the manufac
 turing of microwave components will be conducted in more detail\, with the
  help of several examples. Several microwave components manufactured with 
 some of the most popular AM technologies will be shown\, along with a deta
 iled description of the manufacturing process\, post-processing\, and all 
 actions necessary to make the component perform well. Furthermore\, it wil
 l be shown how the flexibility of this technology allows the development o
 f new classes of components with non-conventional geometries that can be e
 xploited to obtain high-performing components in terms of compactness\, we
 ight\, losses\, etc.\n\nCo-sponsored by: INRS\, Staracom\n\nSpeaker(s): Cr
