Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) printing has emerged as a transformative technology for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) instrumentation, offering flexibility in the design and fabrication of custom tools that enhance experimental capabilities. Additive manufacturing has made it possible for many NMR labs to build their own magic angle spinning assemblies, sample handling devices, and other critical components. We summarize common 3D printing techniques, such as fused deposition modeling (FDM) and stereolithography (SLA) for polymers, along with metal printing methods like selective laser melting. By facilitating rapid prototyping, 3D printing accelerates the development and optimization of NMR systems, as well as bypassing traditional manufacturing constraints. This review also discusses perspectives on the future of 3D printing in NMR and related methods, providing cost-effective, in-house solutions that increase participation, allow for sharing and remixing of innovations, and broaden applications across chemical, biological, and materials research.
期刊介绍:
Progress in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy publishes review papers describing research related to the theory and application of NMR spectroscopy. This technique is widely applied in chemistry, physics, biochemistry and materials science, and also in many areas of biology and medicine. The journal publishes review articles covering applications in all of these and in related subjects, as well as in-depth treatments of the fundamental theory of and instrumental developments in NMR spectroscopy.
