The feasibility of using selective heat melting (SHM) to fabricate composite materials and functionally graded structures was investigated. We report, for the first time, the successful 3D printing of copper (Cu)-polyethylene (PE) composite, iron (Fe)-polyethylene (PE) composite and functionally gra...
