Imagine being able to build an entire dialysis machine using nothing more than a 3D printer. While multiple hurdles must be overcome to develop electronic devices that are entirely 3D printed, a team at MIT has taken an important step in this direction by demonstrating fully 3D-printed, three-dimensional solenoids. Solenoids, electromagnets formed by a coil of wire wrapped around a magnetic core, are a fundamental building block of many electronics, from dialysis machines and respirators to washing machines and dishwashers. This customized printer, which could utilize higher-performing materials than typical commercial printers, enabled the researchers to produce solenoids that could withstand twice as much electric current and generate a magnetic field that was three times larger than other 3D-printed devices. In addition to making electronics cheaper on Earth, this printing hardware could be particularly useful in space exploration. For example, instead of shipping replacement electronic parts to a base on Mars, which could take years and cost millions of dollars, one could send a signal containing files for the 3D printer, says Luis Fernando Velásquez-García, a principal research scientist in MIT’s Microsystems Technology Laboratories (MTL). Velásquez-García is the senior author of a new paper on the 3D printed solenoids that appears in the journal Virtual and Physical Prototyping. He is joined on the paper by lead author Jorge Cañada, an electrical engineering and computer science graduate student; and Hyeonseok Kim, a mechanical engineering graduate student.

“Form factor, in terms of engineering and design, refers to the structured physical specification of product such as size and shape. Diversification in the structure of electronic devices has led to increasing demands for the free form-factor (i.e., freeform) architecture in emerging electronics including wearable electronics, bioelectronics, optoelectronics, batteries, and soft robotics. Also, the demands for high-performance, miniaturized electronic devices have led to the exponential growth in the density of electronic chips and the complexity of their integration. Therefore, electronics have been required to have 3D form with occupying z-axis space while maintaining the miniaturized aerial dimension. To satisfy these demands in the current fabrication process, additive manufacturing, such as 3D printing, has been introduced and developed for fabricating freeform 3D structures with high resolution.” 🆒 🤖 🎨 More general overview in comments ↕️ #electronics #fabrication #3dprinting #microscale #dimension #synthesis #engineering #design #manufacturing #additivemanufacturing #microelectronics #computers

As 3D printing becomes more popular, it's going to be really interesting to see how companies can overcome current limitations to further expand the possibilities that this technology could offer. For example, this new conductive metallic gel that has been developed in the US means that 3D printing could be used to create electrical components and devices. Let me know what you think is next for 3D printing. #3dprinting #manufacturing #AME #pcbmanufacturing #pcbdesign #prototyping #electronics #automation #printedelectronics https://lnkd.in/gAPDUvqP

“In 3D Electronics the 3rd dimension is more than just an additional space to add electronics; it implies a more optimized use of the space, it becomes a powerful tool to enhance products that are currently limited due to shape and size requirements. Adding planar electronics to non-planar or round objects means making the object larger and using bolts, wires and mounts to hold the electronics in place. This is a standard, and even state of the art method, to make an object electrically functional. However, it wastes space, decreases the durability, adds additional steps in manufacturing for integration and imposes constraints on the users. In many cases, adding electronics is not viable given the size constraints or the complexity imposed when adding.” 3D Printed Electronics is an exciting technology frontier. Join us in Berlin at TechBlick’s Future of Electronics RESHAPED conference and exhibition [17-18 OCT 2023] to hear Kenneth Church, Ph.D. from nScrypt Inc. explain how 3D Printed Electronics combines electronic packaging with electronic integration. https://lnkd.in/euD6ZmMt “Adding actives with 3D printing implies that electronics can be a part of any 3D printed object. The value of this has not been fully articulated or even imagined, but early demonstrations and the imagination of some reveal that 3D Printed Electronics will not only be the next-generation of electronic packaging, but it will also revolutionize next-generation products. The discussion on CHIPS and the impact is muted without next-generation packaging. 3D Printed Electronics and semiconductor chips are a natural marriage.” In this talk, Kenneth will explore the advantages of 3D Printed Electronics and the required tools to make complete working circuits. Additionally, he will show why successful 3D Manufacturing using 3D Printed Electronics is more than printing. He will demonstrate the advantages of using 3D manufacturing and multiple tools and processes in a single system. The idea of printing structures, conductors and adding actives opens new opportunities for more electronic functions in smaller form factors. It also allows for more personalized electronics to be viable. Join us in Berlin and let us RESHAPE the Future of Electronics together, making it 3D, Additive, Digital,, and Sustainable.

Reshoring Electronics Manufacturing with 3D Printing: A Conversation with NextFlex “If you think about a traditional printed circuit board, we now create them in a very different way. We do it by printing, which is an additive process. There’s no etching. There’s no lithography. Printing electronics provides several different advantages, including the ability to make devices lightweight, low cost, and flexible,” nScrypt Inc. #printedelectronics #additivemanufacturing #3Dprinting #flexibleelectronics #printedcircuitboards https://lnkd.in/eTTi3fGY

"University of Missouri researchers have developed a way to create complex devices with multiple materials—including plastics, metals and semiconductors—all with a single machine. The research, which was recently published in Nature Communications, outlines a novel 3D printing and laser process to manufacture multi-material, multi-layered sensors, circuit boards and even textiles with electronic components. It's called the Freeform Multi-material Assembly Process, and it promises to revolutionize the fabrication of new products." #multimaterialassemblyprocess #3dprinting #manufacturing
