Do we just need to accept poor signal integrity and signal loss? Not with AME on our side. Here's why:
More diverse materials – Additive manufacturing is possible with a range of different materials, so engineers can select materials according to specific electrical parameters.
Embedded components–Engineers can directly embed 3D signalling components to reduce the risk of signal loss within wiring.
Simulating the build ahead of time–With 3D simulation, it's possible to develop the optimal build layout to secure signal integrity. There's no need to waste resources or materials during preliminary testing.
Developing the complete system on demand–With AME techniques, engineering teams can develop the full system, including RF interfaces and other components. These components can be printed together, ready for quick and accurate assembly.
Properly implemented, AME is going to all but eliminate signal loss in electronic systems. The potential applications of this are very exciting indeed.
