A tool to electrodeposit layers of a metal compound at room temperature for building three-dimensional geometries.

About

The demonstrated additive fabrication technology exhibits a dispenser-free nozzle as it operates in solid-state phase. Layers of copper are electrodeposited through a solid media on a conductive substrate and the printed pillar is imaged and its material composition characterized by energy dispersive spectroscopy. Since no dispensing mechanism is required, the system complexity is reduced to a level that the use of micro-engineered nozzle in many multiples is possible for parallel 3D printing.

Key Benefits

Dispense-free nozzle Operable with solid-state of metals System complexity is reduced Enables use of micro-engineered nozzle in many multiples for parallel 3D printing Enables high volume production of 3D printed metal geometries

Applications
