Summary
Direct-write printing allows the fabrication of centimeter-wave radio devices. Most polymer dielectric polymer materials become lossy at frequencies above 10 GHz. Presented here is a printable dielectric material with low loss in the K a band (26.5–40 GHz). This process allows the fabrication of resonator filter devices and a radio antenna.

Summary
Big data volume continues to grow at unprecedented rates. One of the key features that makes big data valuable is the promise to find unknown patterns or correlations that may be able to improve the quality of processes or systems. Unfortunately, with the exponential growth in data, users often have difficulty in visualizing the often-unstructured, non-homogeneous data coming from a variety of sources. The recent growth in popularity of 3D printing has ushered in a revolutionary way to interact with big data. Using a 3D printed mockup up a physical or notional environment, one can display data on the mockup to show real-time data patterns. In this poster and demonstration, we describe the process of 3D printing and demonstrate an application of displaying Twitter data on a 3D mockup of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) campus, known as LuminoCity.
