ABSTRACT

Direct Ink Writing (DIW) is a technology used to produce 3D structures by depositing material layer by layer. The technology has various forms including droplet-based printing, continuous-flow printing, and extrusion-based printing. The inks used in DIW can be classified into four categories: Thermoplastics, photo-curable, ceramics, and metals. Literature related to the application of Direct Ink Writing technology has shown its potential in fields such as electronics, tissue engineering, and energy production. This technology allows for the production of intricate and complex structures with high precision and accuracy. Furthermore, Direct Writing technology has the ability to use a wide range of materials, making it a versatile tool for producing a range of applications.
