Aerosol Jet 3D Printing Technology

Aerosol jet printing is an effective integration of atomization technology and aerodynamic focusing, enabling the micro- and nanofabrication of multifunctional materials without the need for conventional mask or thin-film tools, thereby reducing the complexity and cost associated with relying on multiple micro- and nanofabrication devices and multi-step fabrication processes.

Aerosol jet printing is widely used in commercial applications across industries such as electronics, energy, life sciences, and aerospace. Its customers include renowned companies like General Electric, Samsung, Apple, Siemens, Corning, and Lockheed Martin.

Advantages of Aerosol Jet Printing

Minimum resolution capability

<10μm

~30μm

Finer feature sizes

Single-layer thickness

25 nm–10 μm*

~0.1–0.3 μm

Improving Process Control

Material viscosity

Above 0.7–2,500 cP (up to 10,000 cP under laboratory conditions)

Approximately 5 to 12 cP (depending on surface tension)

Broader material selection and deposition thickness control

Solid content

Approximately 70 wt% or more

<50 wt%

The higher the metal or ceramic content, the less solvent and the more material.

Material formulation development time

Heaven and Moon

year

Existing and new materials can be developed and used very easily.

Functionally Graded Materials

Yes

No

Can be used for functionally graded materials.

Pattern Generation

Numbers in CAD: Direct Vector

Digital grating

More precise

Printhead Position

Pitch between lenses: 1–5 mm; focal length approximately 2 mm.

The print head is fixed approximately 0.2–1 mm above the substrate.

Conformal deposition printing can be achieved on irregularly shaped substrates, as well as for narrow, grooved channels.

3D direct writing

3-axis, optional 5-axis

2 axes, with the Z-axis operated manually.

Three-dimensional ability

01

Atomization

Nano-particle-based liquid inks are atomized into an aerosol.


02

Droplet sorting and densification

Classify the aerosol to remove droplets that are too small or too large, thereby maximizing output.


03

Aerodynamic focusing

The nitrogen sheath is used to protect the nozzle while focusing and accelerating the aerosol into an aerosol beam ranging from 10 µm to 1 mm in diameter. (Depends on the nozzle.)


05

High-Interval Printing

The aerosol jet is ejected at speeds of up to 100 m/s and impacts the substrate with near-zero force, enabling conformal circuit printing at nozzle-to-substrate distances of up to 5 mm.


05

Supports a wide range of nano- and micro-scale materials

Conductive nanoparticle inks, polymers, insulators, adhesives, etchants, graphene, perovskites, MXenes, and more—this system can even enable the precise deposition of biomaterials onto both planar and non-planar substrates.
