| Abstract Scope |
The fabrication of multicomponent devices presents a challenge when facing the densification process. The material phases involved posses different thermal properties which make impossible to densify at the same temperature and time. The combination of different laser technologies such as Laser-Induced Forward Transfer (LIFT) and Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) could be the key to fabricate these multicomponent devices. LIFT is a direct writing technique able to print a wide range of materials, from liquids to solids. It works in a wide range of densities which makes possible to print inks characterized by high percentages of solid contents. In our recent advances LIFT allowed us to print multiple layers in column, moving towaards 3D printing. On the other hand, SLS enables a localized thermal treatment with no impact on the surrounding phases. In addition, both laser systems can be coupled in just one device avoiding sample manipulation between both processing steps. |
