A deep investigation of Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RISs) in 5G and beyond systems requires numerous tests with various RIS prototypes. Traditional RIS prototyping relies on expensive or time-consuming printed circuit board technologies. Alternatively, additive manufacturing, particularly 3D-printing, offers rapid prototyping of radio frequency components with sophisticated geometry and low cost. This paper presents a novel methodology for additive manufacturing RIS elements (AMoRE). AMoRE provides a detailed description of the production process of 3D-printed RIS elements, including dielectric material characterization and waveguide design for measurement. An experimental and simulation comparison of traditional and 3D-printed RIS elements demonstrates that the latter increases the bandwidth by 40% and reduces losses, being five times cheaper and having the same thickness. The results highlight the potential of additive manufacturing to enable rapid and cost-effective RIS prototyping compared with traditional methods.
