Newswise — The rise of additive manufacturing – or as it's more commonly known, 3D printing – has enabled the rapid production of complex parts across many domains. As the techniques have become more refined, the semiconductor industry has taken note. But until recently, no one's been able to form single-crystal materials – the building block of semiconductors – with traditional additive manufacturing processes.
