Abstract: Electrochemical Additive Manufacturing (ecAM) Prototype Development

Dr Paul White

Electrochemical AM is a complementary tool in the additive manufacturing toolbox that prints metals directly from aqueous solution. Any metal or alloy that can be electroplated can be printed allowing ecAM to fill in the gaps for metals not easily accessed by other AM methods (e.g. precious metals). Using an ecAM “pen” and an XYZ-controllable stage, 3D structures can be built under standard laboratory conditions.
