Digital LIGA: exploitation of droplet-on-demand inkjet printing to fabricate complex mechanical structures by electroforming

We are happy to announce the publication of a joint research work done by IEM - EPFL (École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne) with iPrint - College of Engineering and Architecture of Fribourg .

A novel 3D fabrication technique called digital LIGA is proposed in this work, integrating functional digital inkjet printing with 3D microfabrication via electrodeposition. By combining UV-LIGA and inkjet printing of a digitally-defined seed layer formed from printed gold nanoparticles, we have demonstrated a straightforward microfabrication method resulting in high-quality complex multilevel metallic parts.
