Multi material printing for rapid prototyping of multilayer hybrid ceramic components

Additive manufacturing, inkjet and aerosol printing offer unique advantages for the production of electronic components. Components can be printed from different substrates and structured digitally and without masking. Fraunhofer IKTS develops multilayer ceramic hybrid components. These integrate ceramic materials with other functional components. Dielectric inks for inkjet printing are developed specifically for multi-material printing, printing parameters are optimized, sintering behaviour is tested and the resulting components are characterized.

Development of inks for digital printing

Fraunhofer IKTS develops customized nano-inks for microprinting processes such as inkjet, aerosol printing, fine-line screen printing and microdispensing. The range of materials includes precious metals (e.g. Au, Pt, Ag), silicon, carbon, magnetic inks and ceramic oxide inks or composite inks with glass additives.

Temperature-resistant marking inks for the permanent labeling of metal and ceramics

In metal processing, including forging, hot forming and hardening, the marking of semi-finished products using "direct part marking" plays a central role in the optimization of production processes and quality assurance. The biggest problem with the labeling of components is the sometimes very high processing temperatures (500 to 1300 °C) and demanding processing conditions. With a marking process developed at Fraunhofer IKTS, high-temperature-resistant markings can be realized with industrial inkjet printers. Customized high-temperature resistant inks based on ceramic molded bodies and glass are available for this purpose.

Biocompatible gold and platinum inks for printed electrodes in biomedical sensor technolog

Fraunhofer IKTS has developed special inks and pastes that can also be printed on flexible substrates such as plastic or paper, enabling integration into wearable or flexible biosensor systems. The gold and platinum inks in the form of printed electrodes have been successfully tested several times for biocompatibility according to DIN EN ISO 10993-5 / -12.

Material developments for energy storage systems and converters such as lithium-ion batteries and fuel cells

Fraunhofer IKTS is developing materials and processes for new battery concepts, such as the ceramic solid-state battery (Li and Na-based). Work is also being carried out on innovative 3D metal foam electrodes with a very high surface capacity and on bipolar electrodes based on polymer collector foils. Using various coating technologies, the active materials are processed as slurries, printed as pastes or infiltrated as inks.

Diode laser array post-processing of printed structures as a key technology for flexible electronics

Wet-chemically produced structures require specific post-processing in order to remove organic components and sinter the metallic/ceramic particles. Fraunhofer IKTS uses an innovative process based on a micro-optically optimized high-power diode laser line for this purpose. This technology enables selective and extremely fast functionalization of printed materials, even on thermally sensitive polymer and paper substrates.

Scalable and printable magnetoresistive sensors

Fraunhofer IKTS develops printable, flexible and cost-effective magnetic field sensors for small to high magnetic fields (0.001 to 7 T). These can be functionalized on polymer films, paper and ceramic substrates using thick-film methods (e.g. screen printing and dispenser printing) and line laser post-processing. The sensors are suitable for position and rotation measurements as well as human-machine interfaces.
