Description:"This patent application embodies 3D printed
electromechanical devices. These
devices are impact resistant and have
higher resolution than existing
technology. Also, unlike
existing technology, chemical
cleansing of component and
interconnection cavities is
not required with this
technology."
Abstract:The present invention provides a system and method for making a three-dimensional electronic, electromagnetic or electromechanical component/device by: (1) creating one or more layers of a three-dimensional substrate by depositing a substrate material in a layer-by-layer fashion, wherein the substrate includes a plurality of interconnection cavities and component cavities; (2) filling the interconnection cavities with a conductive material; and (3) placing one or more components in the component cavities.
