Problems solved by technology

Electrojet printing has a wide range of material applicability (from insulating polymers to conductive polymers, from suspensions to single-walled carbon nanotube solutions, from metal materials, inorganic functional materials to biological materials, etc.), high-resolution printing The outstanding advantages of viscous liquid, low cost and simple structure make it have outstanding potential in multi-material micro-scale 3D printing. However, the existing multi-material electrojet printing is mainly based on multi-nozzle and single-nozzle active mixing technology. Insufficiency of multi-nozzle and single-nozzle active hybrid 3D printing

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of additive manufacturing, and in particular relates to a multi-material microscale 3D printing device and a printing method thereof. Background technique [0002] At present, with the development of micro-nano technology, complex three-dimensional microstructures have a wide range of applications and demands in the fields of micro-nano electromechanical systems, microfluidic chips, micro-optical devices, printed electronics, metamaterials, and functionally graded materials. However, existing micro-nano manufacturing technologies such as optical lithography, electron beam lithography, laser microfabrication, soft lithography, and nanoimprint lithography are difficult to realize true three-dimensional micro-scale complex structures (only two-dimensional and 2.5-dimensional micro-scale structure), and these manufacturing technologies have problems such as high cost, long cycle time, and single material. Micro-scale 3D ...
