Search Phrases
- Conductive 3D printing
- Conductive 3D printing polymers
- Conductive additive layer manufacturing
"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
"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
"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
"SpoolHead(RepRap Wiki)"
- Reprap toolhead for printing with metal wire
- Made to print with nichrome wire to replicate RepRap electrical components
"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
"April 12, 2012 RepRap Blog"
- one Bowden extruder (for the plastic) and one "standard" extruder for the metal
- Arduino compatible Sanguino board
- plastic was printed before dropping in pre-tinned components and finally printing the metal tracks
"Metalia RepRap"
- electron beam based printer (an electron gun and vacuum chamber are the primary requirements for thin film solar cell printers)
- Fully functional parts directly from standard metals
- For most parts it may offer dimensionally finished metal parts IT grade 7
- Good metallurgy on all common metals (Melting process rather than sintering process ensures near 100% of solid material)
- Closed loop system
- Self measurement of finished part tolerances.
- May offer automatic self correction (subtractive machining steps during build process and feedback with compensation used in the additive process).
- Can print thin film CIGS Solar cells in existing 10− 4 vacuum chamber with existing electron gun
