However\, using such technologies f or microwave devices is not straightforward as AM has not been specificall y developed for microwave components\, and in most cases\, some adaptation and post-processing is necessary. Furthermore\, there are many AM technol ogies available\, and it is important to understand their characteristics before selecting one.\n\nIn the presentation\, an overview of the differen t AM technologies available will be provided. Additionally\, an analysis o f some of the most common AM technologies used for the manufacturing of mi crowave components will be conducted in more detail\, with the help of sev eral examples. Several microwave components manufactured with some of the most popular AM technologies will be shown\, along with a detailed descrip tion of the manufacturing process\, post-processing\, and all actions nece ssary to make the component perform well. Furthermore\, it will be shown h ow the flexibility of this technology allows the development of new classe s of components with non-conventional geometries that can be exploited to obtain high-performing components in terms of compactness\, weight\, losse s\, etc.\n\n[]\n\nSpeaker(s): Cristiano Tomassoni\n\nAgenda: \n6:15 pm: We lcome\n\n6:30 to 7:30 pm: Presentation+ Q&A.\n\nVirtual: https://events.vt ools.ieee.org/m/421740 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/421740 ORGANIZER:simoussa@ieee.org SEQUENCE:21 SUMMARY:Additive Manufacturing: emerging opportunities for microwave compon ents URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/421740 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justi fy\;">&nbsp\;</p>\n<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify\;"><spa n lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 10.0pt\; line-height: 107%\; mso-ansi-lan guage: EN-GB\;">The Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology\, also known as 3D-printing technology\, offers several interesting and attractive featur es\, including fast prototyping\, geometry flexibility\, easily customizab le products\, and low cost (in some cases).
