Additive nanomanufacturing of electronics and sensors

Interest in additively manufactured electronics (AME), often referred to as printed electronics, is rapidly growing due to its low cost and rapid design to manufacturing turnaround. This makes it a promising technology for the future of the Internet of Things (IoT), with applications spanning healthcare, automotive, aerospace, and energy industries. This presentation presents a novel multimaterial dry printing technology for prinitng flexible hybrid electronics (FHE) and sensors. In this approach, nanoparticles of various materials are generated in situ and on demand, then directed toward the printer nozzle and laser-sintered in real time to create the desired patterns and structures layer by layer. This groundbreaking dry printing process enables the rapid, low-cost, and eco-friendly manufacturing of various materials and devices on a wide range of surfaces.
