该提案的目标是获得资金，以获得使用5轴运动控制模块的3D拓扑结构打印系统，这是3D嵌入式电子应用的独特和新颖的打印方法。为了在西蒙弗雷泽大学（SFU）建立增材导电制造设施，功能材料的3D集成对于3D打印传感机器人，3D打印可再生能源存储设备和3D集成传感器系统等应用至关重要。所要求的5轴运动控制3D打印系统可通过CAD/CAM包应用于机电一体化应用的多功能增材制造，该包与打印平台无缝交互，以实现高度复杂的3D电路的打印。该设备将用于Woo Soo Kim博士的研究项目，该项目致力于“3D打印结构电子产品的多材料3D集成”。此外，这将由SFU的合作者共同利用，用于大多数拟议的研究。该设备以合理的成本为3D独特形状因子系统的组合多打印技术的3D集成实验研究提供了手段。* 预计通过这些设备，HQP机构的多样化可能会产生重大的积极社会影响。在过去的九年里，申请人已经培训了72名来自中国，韩国和印度的本科合作学生和国际实习生，其中平均约20%是女性学生和研究人员。候选人已经开发了经过考验的实践，以创造一个公平和包容的环境，让不同的团队蓬勃发展。申请人将在此专业知识的基础上，通过这种新型的3D打印系统，确保在所有研究和专业培训中突出多样性和公平性。

The goal of this proposal is to obtain funding to acquire a 3D topological structural printing system using 5-axis motion-controlled module which is unique and novel printing method for 3D embedded electronic applications. In order to establish an additive conductive manufacturing facility at Simon Fraser University (SFU), the 3D integration of functional materials is essential for the applications including 3D printed sensing robotics, 3D printed renewable energy storage devices, and 3D integrated sensor systems. The requested 5--axis motion- controlled 3D printing system can be applied to versatile additive manufacturing of mechatronic applications through CAD/CAM package that seamlessly interacts with the print platform to enable the printing of highly complex 3D circuits. This equipment will be used by Dr. Woo Soo Kim' research program, which is dedicated to “3D integration of multi--material for 3D printed structural electronics”. Also, this will be jointly utilized by the collaborators in SFU for the majority of the proposed research. At a reasonable cost, this facility provides the means for experimental research on 3D integration of combined multiple printing technology for 3D unique form factor systems. ***It is expected that through the equipment, there is potential for a significant positive societal impact resulting from a diverse HQP body. Over the past nine years, the applicant has trained 72 undergraduate Co-op students and international interns from China, South Korea, and India including about 20% female students and researchers on average. The candidate has developed tried-and-tested practices for creating an equitable and inclusive environment where diverse teams flourish. The applicant will build on this expertise and ensure that diversity and equity are highlighted in all research and professional training through this novel 3D printing system.
