Additive nanomanufacturing – A review

Scalable Nanomanufacturing—A Review

This article describes the field of scalable nanomanufacturing, its importance and need, its research activities and achievements. The National Science Foundation is taking a leading role in fostering basic research in scalable nanomanufacturing (SNM). From this effort several novel nanomanufacturing approaches have been proposed, studied and demonstrated, including scalable nanopatterning. Thi...

Metal Additive Manufacturing: A Review

This paper reviews the state-of-the-art of an important, rapidly emerging, manufacturing technology that is alternatively called additive manufacturing (AM), direct digital manufacturing, free form fabrication, or 3D printing, etc. A broad contextual overview of metallic AM is provided. AM has the potential to revolutionize the global parts manufacturing and logistics landscape. It enables dist...

Safer Nanomaterials and Nanomanufacturing

Nanomanufacturing through Electrophotochemical Machining

--There are various techniques which can be used for the manufacture of microproducts, micro electromechanical systems (MEMS) based manufacturing .Broadly these techniques are photolithography, chemical etching, plating, laser fabrication. Micro machining may be seen as an ultra precision material removal process and by this process it is able to achieve micro form accuracy and nanometers finis...

Nanotechnology to Nanomanufacturing : Emerging Models

Science and technology are seen as important determinants for survival and growth of companies, regions and nations (Schumpter,1934) and are related to new theories of economic development, technological change and industrial innovation.(Dosi et al 1990;Romer 1990). In order to reach technology based economic growth, it is not only necessary to invest capital, intellect and time in science and ...
