Vacuum Compatibility of 3D-Printed Materials
The fabrication fidelity and vacuum properties are tested for currently
available 3D-printed materials including polyamide, glass, acrylic, and
sterling silver. The silver was the only material found to be suitable to
ultrahigh vacuum environments due to outgassing and sublimation observed in
other materials.Comment: 3 pages, 2 figures, preprin
