Design Parameters For The Additive Production Of Electronics

The research paper was prepared by Tim Frank, with support provided by J.A.M.E.S. Tim Frank took the lead in preparing the paper, showcasing his expertise and dedication.

Overview

The aim of this work is to develop and verify design parameters for 3D printed electronics manufacturing using the Dragonfly IV system. The task involves identifying the limitations of the Dragonfly IV system and thoroughly documenting them. The knowledge gained from this research will be utilized to establish new design criteria for future additive manufacturing projects. This work is being carried out in cooperation with J.A.M.E.S GmbH, ensuring a collaborative approach to advancing the capabilities of additive manufacturing technologies for electronic components.

Verification of AME Design Parameters With AME 3D Test Coupon

J.A.M.E.S is providing the second AME 3D Test Coupon to verify reproducibility of specific three-dimensional AME design elements for potential use by different AME processes.

Improved Preprocess Algorithm for MultiJet 3D Printing Of electronics

ABSTRACT

The aim of this work is to develop an improved creation process for files used in 3D multijet systems based on findings from previous works as well as provided approaches. A fundamental goal of this work is to better adapt the generated structures specifically to RF applications. This new process will be developed and tested using the Dragonfly IV from Nano Dimension. However, the underlying algorithm should be applicable to other systems through minimal changes to the code. The first version will be designed in MATLAB and then translated into a standalone application. While to original Software was specifically made for 2D file formats with 3D files as an afterthought, the Software developed in this paper will focus on 3D file formats. This work is done in cooperation with the J.A.M.E.S GmbH and the "Wehrwissenschaftliches Institut für Werk- und Betriebsstoffe der Bundeswehr".
