Plasma Micronozzle Adapter
Heightened interest in next-generation printable and flexible electronics is accelerating research and development in rapid and highly repeatable additive manufacturing (AM) processes and capabilities. Plasma jet printing, which converts a desired print material into a low temperature plasma for deposition, is well positioned for electronics manufacturing due to its ability to print a wide range of materials onto diverse surface materials from a single platform. However, a key limitation of existing plasma jet printers is their large minimum printed line widths (150-200 microns), which makes achieving the small spot sizes and high print resolutions needed for advanced electronics more difficult. Advancements are needed in plasma jet printing to attain finer line geometries.
