Additive Manufacturing has many advantages for producing complex components and systems and this has already started to be exploited for parts made of a single material. There is now much interest in the possibility of building parts with multiple materials so that electrical circuits and electronic items can be included within the structure. This paper will highlight some of the research that is taking place at the University of Nottingham and some recent examples of simple products that could exploit this technology.
Some of the issues will be covered where the layer manufacturing process provides some limitations.
