text: Light guiding structures, like optical waveguides or fibers, take an important
role in several industries, e.g. communication, sensing, illumination or medical
applications. For the latter, it could be very interesting to have the possibility
to manufacture problem-adapted structureswith a mechanicalfunctionality andwith
additional embedded optical or electrical sensor functionalities.Modern additive
manufacturing (AM) technologies like Stereolithography (SLA) or Fused Layer Modeling
(FLM) may provide these opportunities.This paper is aimedto figure out the light
guiding opportunities of both technologies. For this different kind of structures
are built by FLM and SLA. To compare both manufacturing technologies, the layout
of each structure is identical for both technologies. After manufacturing, the
transmission and the attenuation of the guided light of these structures areanalyzed
by measurement.Then the measurement results of the different technologies are
compared with each other.

text: Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies have not only revolutionized product
development and design by enabling rapid prototyping. They also gained influence
on production in general, mainly because of their direct manufacturing capabilities.
In the context of Industry 4.0 and the related process automation, innovative
and advanced production technologies with completely new approaches are required
[1]. AM technologies contribute to this with their advantages like freedom of
design, cost efficient product individualization, and functional integration.
On the other hand, AM still shows shortcomings in exploiting its full potential.
Most current AM technologies are only applicable for manufacturing with singular
materials. In particular, opportunities for processing of optically or electrically
conductive materials are still missing. This paper contributes to the advancement
of additive manufacturing of two different material variants or even two completely
different materials. A special focus is laid on producing a part that combines
mechanical with optical or electrical functionalities in one process step. The
ultimate goal is to integrate sensor functionalities into an AM object, e.g. strain
gauges. Extrusion processes, predominantly Fused Layer Modeling (FLM), are preferred
in this research due to their mechanically simple machine setup in which additional
functional materials can be adapted easily to the build process. In a first step,
the general manufacturability has been evaluated. Thereafter, the resulting optical
transmission properties have been analyzed. Especially the attenuation has to
remain below a threshold value to accomplish a minimum signal-to-noise ratio.

text: "Many low-cost 3D printers have been brought to market over the last couple
of years. Most of them apply a Fused Layer Manufacturing (FLM) process, and have
made 3D printing a great success amongst hobbyists, the maker community and students.
One drawback of such inexpensive equipment is a limited build envelope, which
prevents this from becoming a significant contributor to industrial production.
To overcome these limits, it is not sufficient to simply upscale dimensions, but
the overall concept of such machines must be completely re-thought, as well as
the concepts behind several building blocks, components and the process software
system.\r\nProblems such as shrinkage of build material, support material and
machine parts in combination with long printer head travels, temperature distribution
and moisture effects all have to be solved. In addition, larger parts need longer
process times. Therefore, reduction of process times and an increase in productivity
are necessary in order to enable economic production.\r\nSome of these problems
can be solved by using more than one printer head for production, by using new
materials and inventing new nozzle systems as distinct solutions for big printers.
Nevertheless, to solve all these problems, the development of special machines
for large parts is necessary: not component-wise but as a whole system. Large
parts could then be successfully produced in several industries, using large,
inexpensive FLMmachines.\r\n"
