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. In the presentation\, an overview of the different A
 M technologies available will be provided. Additionally\, an analysis of s
 ome of the most common AM technologies used for the manufacturing of micro
 wave components will be conducted in more detail\, with the help of severa
 l examples. Several microwave components manufactured with some of the mos
 t popular AM technologies will be shown\, along with a detailed descriptio
 n of the manufacturing process\, post-processing\, and all actions necessa
 ry to make the component perform well. Furthermore\, it will be shown how 
 the flexibility of this technology allows the development of new classes o
 f components with non-conventional geometries that can be exploited to obt
 ain high-performing components in terms of compactness\, weight\, losses\,
  etc.\n\nSpeaker(s): Prof. Cristiano Tomassoni\n\nAgenda: \n9am PST - 10.3
