Novel 3D Printing Method to Fabricate Metal-Plastic Composite Structures
Waseda University (Japan), November 30, 2022
A new multimaterial digital light processing three-dimensional printing (MM-DLP3DP) technique developed by scientists in Japan and Singapore can manufacture complex metal-plastic composite structures. The process starts by adding palladium ions to light-cured resins to prepare active precursors for the three-dimensional (3D) printing process that promote electroless plating (ELP), in order to form a metal coating. The MM-DL3DP apparatus then fabricates microstructures containing nested areas of the resin or the active precursor. These materials are directly plated, with 3D metal patterns added through ELP. The process allows the deposition and precise control of highly specific metal patterns on the composite structures. ... '
