TY  - CPAPER
AB  - 3D   printing   is   a   disruptive   technology,   offering  the   inherent   capabilities   for   creating  truly arbitrary  3D  structures,  with  low  manufacturing  costs  associated  with  low  volume  production runs.  This  paper  provides  an  overview  of  the  current  progress  in  3D  printing  of  metal-pipe rectangular waveguide (MPRWG) components, from 10 GHz to 1 THz, at Imperial College London. First,  measurements  performed  at  the  UK  National  Physical  Laboratory  demonstrate  that  3D printed  MPRWG  performance  is  comparable  to  standard  commercial  waveguides  at  X-band  and W-band.  Then,  a  fully  3D  printed  X-band  dielectric  flap  tuneable  phase  shifter  and  W-band  6th-order   inductive   iris   bandpass   filter   are   demonstrated   experimentally.   Finally,   an   optically-controlled  500  GHz  IQ  vector  modulator  will  also  be  presented;  packaged  laser  diodes  and  high resistivity   silicon   implants   are   integrated   within   a   hybrid   3D   printed   split-block   module, representing a paradigm shift in additive manufacturing for realizing tuneable THz applications.
