In the Cambridge Engineering materials Selector (CES) database there are >3900 materials for Engineer This doesn’t include functional materials such as doped materials in semiconductor 5 2016 3D Printing Electronics Conference Eindhoven Q: Why do we have to use so many different materials? Single material couldn’t provide the multiple and complex functions we required. Compromise and joining and assembly are needed For example, we need – Cu for high thermal conductivity – Al and Ti for light weight – Stainless steel for anti-corrosion – Inconel for high temperature and harsh environment – Polymers for light weight and insulation – Ceramic for high servicing temperature and high hardness – … 6 2016 3D Printing Electronics Conference Eindhoven Q: how many materials 3D Printers can print? SLS: PA, PS, Coated Sand, Coated metals, glass powder composite, PEEK, wax… SLM: SS, Ti and alloy, Al and alloy, Cu alloy, Ni alloy, CoCr, Tool steel… FDM: ABS, PLA, Nylon, PC… SLA: Acrylic… 3DP: Plaster composite, sand… Laser Cladding: metals… … 7 2016 3D Printing Electronics Conference Eindhoven History of 2D Printing technologies: 1.

Liquid: taps, digital pipette, ink jet printing, syringe pumps…still advancing but quite mature Semi solid: FDM, injection moulding, glue dispensing, a lot of printing methods for example offset printings… Gas: pneumatic valves etc.. Powder printing: laser printing, very few… 9 2016 3D Printing Electronics Conference Eindhoven Why use Dry Powder Dispensing for MMAM? 1. Required by powder bed based AM, including SLS, SLM, EBM and Zcorp 2. Especially in SLM, the high temperature would not allow any liquid/solvent involved 3. Wider materials availability (Metal, ceramic, polymer…) 4. Materials handling and storage is easier Mohammad Vaezi, Srisit Chianrabutra, Brian Mellor & Shoufeng Yang Virtual and Physical Prototyping, Volume 8, Issue 1, 2013 Multiple material additive manufacturing – Part 1: a review 10 2016 3D Printing Electronics Conference Eindhoven Pioneer of Direct Inkjet Printing Professor Julian RG Evans JRG Evans et al., J.
