Today, it would take any manufacturer longer than a month to 3D print an electronic phased array antenna (PAA) element. While a CAD program would be involved, patterns and com- mands would need to be entered by hand, nScrypt CEO Ken- neth Church said. If the industry had better software, the RF multi-layer circuit, 7 layer electronic board could be printed in hours. PAAs electronically steer the antenna without physically moving it. On the drawing board with the DOD and the Uni- versity of South Florida: Printing doubly curved phased arrays, which allow the beam to steer past 180 degrees.


“STL is just triangle geometry—nothing else,” said Justin


Kidder, director of software architecture at Dassault Systemes. “STL is a very simple format designed to work on a


computer of almost 30 years ago,” Rogers said. “It has not transitioned well into those other genres,”


mass production. It also seeks to be involved with multi- materials and biological structures, food, electrical func- tions and textiles. Another goal would be to play a larger role in other manufacturing sectors like automotive, aero- space and medical devices. However, the limits of CAD and the STL fi le format have become clear, industry leaders say.


Church said. As for widespread use of a fi le format to replace STL, Met-


L-Flo President Carl Dekker predicted as long as 15 years. “I don’t want to believe that answer,” he said. “But historically, seeing how long it takes things to be adopted and become integrated, I fear it’s going to be a decade or maybe a de-
