"Rapid prototyping of electrically conductive components using 3Dprinting technology"

  • made of plaster-based powder bound layer-by-layer by an inkjet printing of a liquid binder
  • impregnated by a dispersion of carbon nanofibers (CNF) in epoxy resin
  • Surface resistivity of the model below 800 Ω/sq has been obtained when impregnated by a mixture containing less than 4 wt.% CNF. Volume resistivity of the molded and hardened CNF dispersion used for model impregnation have also been measured and a value less than 200 Ω cm has been obtained at 3 wt.% CNF content
  • carbon-black or metal powders increases the viscosity of the infiltrant so that it is not able to impregnate the 3D model structure
  • the average diameter of the fibers is 100 nm and typical length is 50–200 μm

"Inkjet Printing of Narrow Conductive Tracks on Untreated Polymeric Substrates"

  • Small conductive tracks are created by direct inkjet-printing
  • Ink with 30 nm silver particles onto flexible and transparent untreated polyarylate foils
  • Diameter as narrow as 40 micrometers
  • Conductivity is 13 to 23 % that of bulk silver
  • may be applied in plastic electronics

[2]

"Gravure printing of conductive particulate polymer inks on flexible substrates"

  • conductive lines on paper and plastic films
  • inks contained metal particles in an organic medium and were cured in temperatures of 70–120 °C
  • A printed resistance down to ∼50 mΩ/□ was obtained, with conductor lines 4–7 μm thick
  • thick ink layer is needed for high conductivity
  • printed antennas and inductors

[3]

"Reprinting the Telegraph:Replicating the Vail Register Using Multi-materials 3D Printing"

  • Used SFF to fabricate a complete, active electromechanical system (telegraph)
  • produced a complete electromagnet:stacked layers of 20 turns each, total resistance of 11.4Ω

[4]

"SpoolHead(RepRap Wiki)"

  • Reprap toolhead for printing with metal wire
  • Made to print with nichrome wire to replicate RepRap electrical components

[5]

"Materials Science(RepRap Wiki)"

  • ConductiveMaterials can serve as CircuitBoard traces, wiring, antennae, electro magnets, and faraday cages, along with actual electrical components such as capacitors, resistors, and inductors
  • Work done with printing metals and conductive filler
