Material extrusion 3D printing: from fundamentals to applications

Material Extrusion (MatEx) additive manufacturing, commonly known as 3D printing, is used to produce parts with very complex shapes, which are very difficult to obtain by conventional processes. MatEx recently gained an enormous success due to its open-access nature and the possibility to be used by untrained operators. However, MatEx also shows some limitations, which cannot be solved by a geek approach, but need technical and scientific skills. This workshop, sponsored by the national research project “0DeF3”,  will bring together international academic and industrial experts in polymers and polymer processing to discuss fundamentals and applications of material extrusion 3D printing.
