Disruptive Approach of Additive Manufactured Electronics (AME)

Inhalt:
The Buzzword “3D printing” have been discussed a lot in recent days. Given the diversity of the whole industry, there is no “one-size-fits-all” solution. A transition from “rapid prototyping” to “direct manufacturing” is possible. To exploit ideally the resources (Material and processing time) within the Additive Manufacturing Electronics (AME) the basic design should optimized. One approach is, to print material at areas to achieve larger creepage distances. A second is, to use generative design principles to reduce material at areas with no electrical usage (lattice-skin, honeycomb, etc.). A third is to implement (print) additional function to optimize assembly, mounting processes and EMC shielding. With an example of a plug-in Sensorboard for the SEMITRANS 10 MLI Power Stack application, some benefits of AME should described in this presentation. The “FED Arbeitskreis 3D-Elektronik” prepares the knowledge regarding to these new proceedings for its member and interested experts.
