Abstract Scope |
Industrial adoption of mainstream metal AM technologies, including PBF and binder jetting, has primarily focused on high value and low production volume aerospace and medical components. This is largely due to the high cost of metal AM equipment and powder, powder safety concerns, and low production speeds relative to conventional manufacturing processes. This talk will present a promising new (sort of) technology known as molten metal jetting (MMJ). MMJ jets droplets of molten metal on-demand towards a moving substrate where they spread and solidify following impact. The push towards high frequency multi-nozzle molten metal jetting opens up possibilities for high material deposition rates without any loss of feature resolution, multi-material deposition, highly conductive printed electronics, and other exciting research activities. The talk will describe state-of-the-art and future developments in MMJ research at RIT and other leading research laboratories around the world. |
