Dry Multimaterial Printing Technology: Efficient, Clean, Cost-Effective, and Supply-Chain Resilient

NanoPrintek presents its disruptive “dry multimaterial printing” technology that transforms the current printing ecosystem. This presentation highlights the unparalleled capability of this technology and shows how it can print directly from metals and semiconductors to insulators and composites (even from scraps and rocks!) and on various substrates. The current printing ecosystem is liquid-based, which heavily suffers from major drawbacks, including i) the need for a complex and pollutive supply chain, ii) expensive and extensive ink formulation processes, iii) surfactants and contaminants, iv) limited printing inks, and v) the need for high-temperature post-processing. This talk presents NanoPrintek’s disruptive inkless multimaterial printing technology, where various materials can be printed seamlessly from solid sources. The key technology advantages include 1) on-demand and in-situ generation of various pure nanoparticles without contaminations, 2) in-situ and real-time laser sintering of nanoparticles on various substrates with no post-processing, 3) multimaterial printing of hybrid and tunable nanocomposite materials and structures. This supply-chain resilient, clean, and highly cost-effective technology transforms the electronics printing ecosystem to a new realm where pure, multimaterial, multifunctional, and hybrid materials are printed on demand, enabling various applications in the electronics, healthcare, automotive, aerospace, defense, and energy industries.
