  • Printed three-dimensional (3D) functional part and method of making
    Patent number: 10462907
    Abstract: A printed 3D functional part includes a 3D structure comprising a structural material, and at least one functional electronic device is at least partially embedded in the 3D structure. The functional electronic device has a base secured against an interior surface of the 3D structure. One or more conductive filaments are at least partially embedded in the 3D structure and electrically connected to the at least one functional electronic device.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: October 29, 2019
    Assignee: President and Fellows of Harvard College
    Inventors: Jennifer A. Lewis, Michael A. Bell, Travis A. Busbee, John E. Minardi, II
  • 3D PRINTABLE COMPOSITE WATERBORNE DISPERSIONS
    Publication number: 20170253751
    Abstract: A composite waterborne dispersion for 3D printing. The dispersion includes a composition containing an aqueous dispersion of polymer particles; an associative thickener; and a functional filler. The functional filler may be conductive particles, fumed silica, milled glass fibers, polydimethylsiloxane, eutectic metal particles, carbon fiber, thermally insulating particles, thermally conductive particles, ferromagnetic particles, particles with high acoustic impedance, low-k dielectric particles, or high-k dielectric particles. The composition has a yield stress >0 Pa, the yield stress being at least one of dynamic yield stress and static yield stress. The composition is film-forming when dried.
