Description

<p>The overall goal of this project is to demonstrate the feasibility of 3D printing of ferrous, Cobalt, and<br /> Nickel-based alloys, using UHV&rsquo;s innovative low temperature 3D printing technology for metals and alloys. This technology is based on electrochemical (co-)deposition of metallic ions at the tips of an array of electrolyte-containing nozzles, which are controlled by CAD files from a computer program. This technology has been successfully applied to 3D printing of Copper for printing very large<br /> area (several meters in size) printed circuit boards and flexible plastics. In the proposed project, the feasibility of applying this technology to alloys will be investigated, in particular iron-based, nickel-based and cobalt-based alloys.</p>
