Sommario/riassunto

A solid freeform fabrication (SFF) technique is described where powder is deposited layer-by-layer using electrophotographic printing. In the electrophotography process, powder is picked up and deposited using



an electrostatically charged surface. A test bed was designed and constructed to study the application of electrophotography to SFF. It can precisely deposit powder in the desired shape on each layer. A polymer toner powder was used to build small components by thermally fusing each layer of printed powder using a hot compaction plate. The feasibility of 3D printing using this approach w
