Advances In 3D Printing: Nazdar x Georgia Tech

Georgia Institute of Technology taps Nazdar Resources to Explore New 3D Processes within their PhD Research Labs

Nazdar Ink Technologies is thrilled to collaborate with the Georgia Institute of Technology's Digital Design and Manufacturing Lab to explore advancements in 3D printing through a novel process known as Radio Frequency Additive Manufacturing (RFAM). This cutting-edge project, led by Dr. Carolyn Seepersad and PhD student Matthew McCoy, seeks to revolutionize polymer powder bed fusion (PBF) 3D printing by introducing a volumetric heating method, which promises to boost production rates, reduce waste, and improve energy efficiency.

Make it stand out

Nazdar’s role in the partnership focuses on developing specialized fluids that optimize the RFAM process. Their expertise in inkjet formulation is key to tailoring materials that enhance the precision and efficiency of this promising 3D printing technique. If successful, the collaboration could impact industries such as aerospace, automotive, and medical devices, where faster and greener production methods are increasingly crucial. While results are still pending, the potential for RFAM's broad application is significant.

The project draws on the innovation of Neil Hopkinson, inventor of the High-Speed Sintering process, whose work forms a foundation for this new approach. Such advances in 3D printing marks a further demonstration of Nazdar’s commitment to pushing boundaries and innovation with inkjet. Now participating in a growing number of industrial sectors, Nazdar is a leading developer of unique and customized solutions taking inkjet into previously uncharted territory!
