University of Twente’s researchers Claas Willem Visser, Ralph Pohl, Chao Sun, Gert-Willem Römer, Bert Huis in ‘t Veld, and Detlef Lohse published “Toward 3D Printing of Pure Metals by Laser-Induced Forward Transfer”
Their paper describes 3D printing of gold and copper structures, by piling metal droplets.
Bringing metallic components to 3D printing opens new possibilities of applying electricity and heat conducting components.
