This paper investigates 3D printing technology in a broad perspective by having a close look at its evolution, current and potential applications, and possible implications in both micro and macro levels. It also discusses existing and possible steps towards reaping the full benefits of this technology. 3D printing can provide valuable opportunities for manufacturing sector as well as in other areas including personal use. While 3D printing promises significant advantages for firms, it also brings about considerable threats for incumbents. Besides, 3D printing may trigger changes in national comparative advantages regarding manufacturing and design activities. By supporting adoption of 3D printing technology, countries can gain new opportunities in a wide range of areas.

Dimensional accuracy improvement of fused filament fabrication holes utilizing modified interior Sımsek, Seyda; Yaman, Ulaş (2016-11-16) This paper proposes an alternative approach to improve the dimensional accuracy of the holes manufactured with Fused Filament Fabrication desktop 3D printers. As opposed to the state of the art techniques, where they scale the input geometric designs according to their predictive and statistical models, the proposed method modifies the interior of the artifacts with respect to the geometric properties of them to compensate for the shrinkages of the holes. That is, the shrinkage itself is utilized to elimina...
Nanobiomaterials: a review of the existing science and technology, and new approaches Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Zorlutuna, P.; Ndreu, A.; Yilgor, P.; Basmanav, F. B.; Aydin, E. (2006-01-01) Nanotechnology has made great strides forward in the creation of new surfaces, new materials and new forms which also find application in the biomedical field. Traditional biomedical applications started benefiting from the use nanotechnology in an array of areas, such as biosensors, tissue engineering, controlled release systems, intelligent systems and nanocomposites used in implant design. In this manuscript a review of developments in these areas will be provided along with some applications from our la...
Hybrid transparent conductive electrode structure for solar cell application Altuntepe, Ali; Olgar, Mehmet Ali; Erkan, Serkan; Hasret, Onur; Kececi, Ahmet Emin; Kokbudak, Gamze; TOMAKİN, MURAT; Seyhan, Ayse; Turan, Raşit; Zan, Recep (2021-12-01) This study draws on our experiences with graphene to perform a hybrid TCO structure composed of AZO and graphene. We first set out to enhance the electrical and optical properties of AZO to enable its use especially in the field of solar cell. Hence, in our study, we deposited various thicknesses of AZO thin films on glass substrates and transferred single layer graphene on them to realize the formation of hybrid TCO structure. Among the various AZO film thicknesses, the optimum one, 300 nm, was determined ...
Quantum Transport Mode in Graphene Nanoribbon Based Transistor Hedayat, Sayed Norollah; Ahmadi, Mohammad Taghi; Sedghi, Hassan; Goudarzi, Hadi; Moradi, Shahram (American Scientific Publishers, 2017-09-01) Graphene has incredible carrier transport property with high application opportunity at single molecule level, which composes it as promising materials on nano electronic application. In order to develop the new device such as graphene nanoribbon transistor, Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistor (CNTFET) and nanowire based devices, it is essential to investigate the quantum limit in low dimensional systems. In this paper transmission coefficient of the schottky structure in the graphene based transistor i...
Broadband THz Modulators Based on Multilayer Graphene on PVC KAYA, Emine; Kakenov, Nurbek; Kocabas, Coskun; Altan, Hakan; Esentürk, Okan (2016-09-30) In this study we present the direct terahertz timedomain spectroscopic measurement of CVD-grown multilayer graphene (MLG) on PVC substrate with an electrically tunable Fermi level. In a configuration consisting MLG and injected organic dopant, the transmitted intensity loss of terahertz radiation was observed with an applied voltage between 0 and 3.5 V.We showed that MLG on PVC devices provided approximately 100 % modulation between 0.2 and 1.5 THz at preferentially low operation voltage of ca. 3V. The obse...
