“…The experimental findings indicate that the filter featuring slots exhibits superior microwave properties compared to the traditional counterpart. To address cost and time-consuming challenges of traditional antenna manufacturing, the study by138 focused on utilizing 3D printing technology to fabricate a standard-gain conical horn antenna. SolidWorks was used to design the WR-15 conical horn antenna, which was then printed using a 3D printer with PLA material.The inside surface of the printed horn antenna was electroplated with copper as the first stage in the coating process to guarantee conductivity.…”

The production of complex structures out of a variety of materials has undergone a revolution due to the rapid development of additive manufacturing (AM) technology. Initially confined to applications such as magnetic actuators and two‐dimensional electric or electronic circuits, the convergence of 3D printing and metallization methods has emerged as a revolutionary approach. This synergy facilitates the creation of functional and customizable metal‐polymer hybrid structures characterized by high strength, lightweight properties, intricate geometric designs, and superior surface finish. These structures also exhibit enhanced electrical and thermal conductivity, as well as optical reflectivity. This paper reviews techniques to improve the effectiveness of 3D‐printed polymer antennas and structures by using various techniques of metallization. The metallization processes are examined, and a classification based on the materials employed is presented to facilitate comparisons that highlight the optimal utilization of materials for the fabrication of 3D‐printed polymer structures. The main emphasis here is on the effectiveness of different processes in terms of deposition, bonding strength, electrical conductivity, and various characteristics of metallic coatings developed on polymers. This review contributes an in‐depth analysis of the latest developments in 3D printing and metallization techniques specifically applied to polymer antennas and structures. The exploration extends to potential applications, challenges encountered, and future prospects within this dynamic field. As AM and metallization continue to evolve, this study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the state‐of‐the‐art methodologies and their implications for the future of polymer‐based structures and antennas.

Bu çalışmada, ticari olarak temin edilebilen standart dikdörtgen dalga kılavuzları (DDK) üç boyutlu (3B) yazıcı kullanılarak üretilmiştir. Bu üretim, diğer literatürden yer alan çalışmalarından farklı olarak V bantta kullanılmak üzere gerçekleştirilmiş ve iletkenliği incelenmiştir. Geleneksel yöntemlerle üretilen milimetre (mm) dalga uygulama ekipmanlarının artan fiyat ve teslim süresi, bu tür ürünlerin mümkün olduğunca kolay ve ucuz üretilmesi ihtiyacını doğurmuştur. Dalga kılavuzları (DK) elektromanyetik dalgaları belirli bir frekans aralığında istenilen bir yönde bir noktadan diğer bir noktaya taşımak için kullanılan pasif elemanlardır. TE10 modunda DDK SolidWorks programı kullanılarak tasarlanmış ve daha sonra eriyik yığma modelleme yöntemi ile PLA termoplastiği kullanılarak üretilmiştir. DK'ların iç yüzeyi kaplandıktan sonra performansı oluşturulan mm-dalga sistemi üzerinde test edilmiştir. Milimetre dalga sisteminde bileşenlerin performansı olarak zayıflama kaybı (S21) ölçülmüştür ve sonuç olarak DDK'ların 1 dB'den daha az zayıflama kaybı olduğu görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada mm-dalga uygulama bileşenlerinin 3B yazıcı ve iletken gümüş boya kullanarak daha ucuz ve hızlı bir şekilde üretilebildiği ortaya konulmuştur.
