Abstract: Systems and methods for three-dimensional printing using microwave assisted deposition are disclosed herein. An example device includes a reservoir of carbonaceous nanocomposite thermoset, a microwave resonance cavity that cures the carbonaceous nanocomposite thermoset, and a sensor to measure the extrusion temperature of the resin when curing the carbonaceous nanocomposite thermoset at the point of deposition during extrusion-based 3D printing.
