Abstract: The disclosure relates to systems and methods for using additive manufacturing techniques for fabricating ball grid array (BGA) surface mounting pads (SMP), and surface mounted technology devices (SMT) package sockets. More specifically, the disclosure relates to additive manufacturing methods for additively manufactured electronic (AME) circuits such as a printed circuit board (PCB), and/or flexible printed circuit (FPC), and/or high-density interconnect printed circuit board (HDIPCB) each having integrated raised and/or sunk BGA SMP, and or surface mounting sockets for SMT device(s) defined therein, and methods of coupling surface mounted devices such as BGA and/or SMT thereto.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to systems and methods for using additive manufacturing (AM) to fabricate printed circuits having side-mounted components and contacts. More specifically, the disclosure is directed to additive manufacturing methods for fabricating electronic components (AME), for example; printed circuit board (PCB), flexible printed circuit (FPC) and high-density interconnect printed circuit board (HDIPCB) (the PCBs, FPCs, and HDIPCB's together referred to as AMEs, or AME circuits), having conductive contacts and/or components along the Z axis of side walls or facets of the each of the printed AMEs.
