Aerosol Jet Printing

Aerosol jet printing (AJP) is a cutting-edge additive manufacturing technique that allows for the deposition of extremely fine lines and intricate patterns with micron-level accuracy. Its non-contact nature means it can be used to print on delicate, heat-sensitive substrates like flexible electronics and textiles.

AJP enables the simultaneous deposition of multiple materials, making it invaluable in the production of complex electronic components and e-textiles. Its versatility, precision, and ability to work with a wide range of materials make AJP a valuable technology in advanced manufacturing. Our goal is to comprehensively understand the process-structure-properties of AJP, with the intention of harnessing its unique capabilities for surface manufacturing.

Our current directions include:
  • Modeling of Aerosol jet printing
  • In-situ reactive nano-printing
  • Supersonic aerosol jet printing
