Abstract: Three-dimensional printing methods and systems use a derived geometry and aligns anisotropic inclusions in any orientation at any number of discrete volumetric sections. Structural, thermal, or geometry-based analyses are combined with inclusion alignment computations and print preparation methods and provided to 3D printers to produce composite material parts that meet demanding geometric needs as well as enhanced structural and thermal requirements. In one example, optimal inclusion alignment vectors associated with a section of the object are calculated based on specifications for the object, segmenting a three-dimensional model of the object into layer slices, grouping each section within each layer slice having similar alignment vectors and combining the groupings and generating printing instructions for the object according to the grouped alignment vectors.

Abstract: Methods and systems for designing and manufacturing RF devices is provided. The disclosed methods allow for quick and efficient printing without having to generate a CAD file or the like to generate the build file. This can be achieved by receiving RF inputs, such as inputs generated from an RF simulation, and combining that with geometry design data, such as boundary geometry information that can include an outer geometry and size of the device to be printed. Further, the RF devices that are produced can use triply periodic minimal surface constructs as the base element of the device.
