The antenna developed using 3D printing technology is known as 3D printed antenna. It helps in rapid prototyping of the antenna design. 3D printing is commonly used to manufacture dielectric-based antennas due to the fact that printing dielectric materials is far easier than printing conductive filaments. 3D printing has also been used to realize antennas in specialist radios where customized designs are required. The combination of the need to wirelessly connect consumer devices to the internet, and the range of new frequency bands on offer, has necessitated research into new antenna systems. Thus, 3D printing has become increasingly important to the industry.
Increasing penetration of Internet and smartphones, increasing number of Internet and smartphone users, advent of 5G, rapid growth in 5G infrastructure, increasing applications of 3D printing, and rapid growth of the telecommunication industry are major factors expected to augment the growth of the global 3D printed antenna market over the forecast period.
For instance, in January 2023, A University of Sheffield team developed 3D printed antennas that can be manufactured faster and more cheaply than current 5G and 6G aerials. During testing, the team's millimeter wave (mmWave) devices are said to have demonstrated a radio frequency (RF) performance akin to that of conventionally-produced antennas. The aerials could help accelerate the roll-out of 5G and 6G infrastructure, both in the U.K., and isolated areas abroad.
