Abstract: The present disclosure provides a device and method for powder distribution and an additive manufacturing method, wherein different size or kind of powders could be chosen to be accommodated within a receptacle. The receptacle can uniformly mix the powder by a rotation movement, pour out the powders by the rotation movement and distribute the powders for forming a layer by a translation movement. In another embodiment, the receptacle further comprises a heating element for preheating the powders. Not only can the present disclosure uniformly mix the powders so as to reduce the thermal deformation and distribute the powder layer compactly, but also can the present disclosure distribute different kinds of powder in different layer so as to increase the diversity in additive manufacturing.

Abstract: A manufacturing method of a package carrier is provided. A supporting plate is provided, wherein a metal layer is already disposed on the supporting plate. A patterned dry film layer is formed on the metal layer. A portion of the metal layer is exposed by the patterned dry film layer. The patterned dry film layer is used as an electroplating mask to electroplate a surface treatment layer on the portion of the metal layer exposed by the patterned dry film layer. The patterned dry film layer is removed so as to expose the portion of the metal layer. The surface treatment layer is used as an etching mask to etch the portion of the metal layer not covered by the surface treatment layer so as to form a patterned metal layer.
