Additively manufactured components, although extensively customizable, are often limited in functionality. Multi-functionality, by definition, requires the integration of active sub-components in order to deliver additional functional capabilities, such as electronic, electro-mechanical, optical, electromagnetic, chemical and thermal. Here is the thing, the production of such parts does not happen every day because the manufacturing process raises several questions at the design, materials and fabrication levels, but also on the effective integration of such parts in a structure. This panel aims to discuss these questions and shed light on the do's and don'ts manufacturers should keep in mind at each stage of the manufacturing process.
