DESCRIPTION:The Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology\, also known as 3D-p
 rinting technology\, offers several interesting and attractive features\, 
 including fast prototyping\, geometry flexibility\, easily customizable pr
 oducts\, and low cost (in some cases). 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.\nIn the presentation\, an overview of the different 
 AM technologies available will be provided. Additionally\, an analysis of 
 some of the most common AM technologies used for the manufacturing of micr
 owave components will be conducted in more detail\, with the help of sever
 al examples. Several microwave components manufactured with some of the mo
 st popular AM technologies will be shown\, along with a detailed descripti
 on of the manufacturing process\, post-processing\, and all actions necess
 ary to make the component perform well. Furthermore\, it will be shown how
  the flexibility of this technology allows the development of new classes 
 of components with non-conventional geometries that can be exploited to ob
 tain high-performing components in terms of compactness\, weight\, losses\
 , etc.\n\nSpeaker(s): Cristiano \n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.or
