| Abstract Scope |
Multi-material manufacturing imposes various challenges due to the difference between the properties of constituent materials. With the advancement of additive manufacturing (AM), the use of multiple materials opens up more application spaces due to the enhanced design freedom with materials. With unique process principle, AM multi-material structures often exhibit unique joining/bonding mechanisms between multiple constituent materials. In addition, the geometry design flexibility with AM also enables new joining concepts. This paper attempts to provide a brief review about joining/bonding mechanisms during multi-material AM from both the perspectives of process principles and structural types. The discussion also attempts to summarize some rather novel multi-material bonding/joining mechanisms that are uniquely enabled by AM. This paper aims to provide some additional insights into the technological challenges of multi-material AM as well as future research opportunities. |
