3D Printed Electronics – be part of the ecosystem

by Corne Rentrop, Holst Centre

The printed electronics community is fastly growing. The latest actions involve high TRL work, aiming towards upscaling and industrialisation. This requires input from the complete value chain. Machine builders, materials and technology suppliers, are working with end-users to meet market specific requirements and allow industrialisation. The talk discusses how this is organised at the Holst Centre, complemented with some end-users examples.

Inkjet-based fabrication of multilayer printed circuit boards with embedded printed passive elements

Vito Matteo Di Pietro

by Vito Matteo Di Pietro, Profactor GmbH

The project inkjetPCB has been recently publicly granted in the Eurostars program and started on the 1st of November 2019. Main scope of this project is to develop fully inkjet printed multi-layer Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) including embedded passive components as a commercially viable process. As outcome of this collaborative innovation project, the consortium partners plan to deliver to their customers a “Complete Solution” for the digital additive manufacturing of PCBs including materials, equipment and process guidelines.

by Wim Deferme, Hasselt University, Institute for Materials Research (IMO-IMOMEC)

Roughness of as-printed 3D parts is limiting the real breakthrough of Additive Manufacturing. Post processing technologies consist out of subtractive techniques such as grinding or sanding, or out of additive techniques such as coating.

In this presentation Ultrasonic Spray Coating as an additive post processing technologie is described to first of all reduce the roughness of Selective Laser Sintered substrates down to less than 2 micrometer and further, functional formulations consisting out of a polymer and nanoparticles is prepared to not only reduce the roughness but also add functionalities to the surface of the 3D substrate such as scratch resistance or superhydrophobicity.

by Bill Buel, Vice President, Hardware, Origin, USA

3D Printed Electronics will ultimately enable and drive the merging of mechanical and electrical disciplines. Just as desktop 3D printers combined with the many peripheral software components empowers everyday, non-engineers to modify their world to their liking, and realize their innate creativity without formal engineering training, 3D printed electronics will not only open the doors, but will completely remove the roof and enable one of the most impactful forms of creativity and innovation that the world has ever seen.
