High-resolution multi-material printing for functional ceramic applications
Fraunhofer IKTS has many years of experience in the field of printed electronics. This includes the synthesis of ceramic and ceramic-compatible materials, their conversion into printable pastes and inks, the requirement-specific design of print layouts, and the implementation of electronic components using various printing processes such as screen and stencil printing, dispensing and dispense jetting, aerosol jet and inkjet printing – also in combination. This offers special technological possibilities for the production of multilayer, hybrid components. With integrated inline drying or sintering technologies (NIR, UV and photonics) and various characterization facilities functional materials can be deposited with high precision and fully cured after each printing process.
