Call for abstracts: Topic on 3D Printed Soft Materials in ASME IMECE 2020

Dear colleagues: 

We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to the Topic 12-3: 3D Printed Soft Materials at the 2020 ASME  IMECE to be held from November 15 – 19 at Portland, Oregon.

Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, offers unique opportunities to explore novel properties and mechanics of soft materials. This topic calls papers from research efforts related to soft materials with novel properties realized or created using 3D printing techniques. Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to: 

·         Soft metametarials with novel properties

·         Printed active composites

·         Novel printing technologies with new printable soft materials

·         Design theory or methodology for soft materials that will be realized through 3D printing

·         Mechanics of 3D printed materials

·         Applications of printed soft materials

Abstract submission deadline: July 13, 2020. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

We look forward to receiving your contributions and seeing you in Portland.
