Abstract:
Additive manufacturing principles will enforce within the industry next few years [Fig. 1]. A new manufacturing approach together with the IoT or “Industrie 4.0” will be established. The reduction of resources and individualized production is an additional driver for additive manufacturing. In a short overview, based on three representatives - soldermask, sinter paste and PCB substrate - the current status of additive manufacturing within the electronic production will be shown. To obtain the benefit of those technologies the hitherto used process-flow, Tools (eCAD) and used Data formats must change. The “FED Arbeitskreis 3D-Elektronik” prepares the knowledge regarding to these new proceedings for its member and interested experts.
