Abstract

Direct-write assembly of a three-dimensional periodic structure comprised of hexagonal filaments was demonstrated. The structure was created by robotically depositing a concentrated colloidal gel-based ink through a cylindrical deposition nozzle. Such structures are built by patterning a continuous filament that has been extruded through a cylindrical deposition nozzle. The nozzle was modified by attaching a UV-LIGA-fabricated hexagonal micro-tip that controls filament geometry.
