“Additive Manufacturing of circuitry by way of printing both the conductive material AND the dielectric material. By combining very high-resolution inkjet printing with dedicated multi-material deposition it is now possible to 100% additively manufacture two material, multilayer, freeform electrically functional circuits. This raises opportunities to prototype or to make PCBs, MIDs, antennas in-house in secret, and to dramatically impact development speed and de-risk R&D.”
I just sponsored a “Lunch and Learn“ where I brought in a group of people to learn about Advanced Additive Manufacturing technologies. People have used 3D Printing for years with plastics. What’s NEW is PCB printing using current technology Gerber files for fast prototype circuit boards. The technique also offers PCBs for non-traditional non-planer shapes.
