    Vacuum Compatibility of 3D-Printed Materials

    Full text link
    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
