Abstract: A method for printing electronic components is based on the hybridization of Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) and laser sintering. The method involves printing a layer of composite copper-based thermoplastic filament on a base. Then the filament is subjected to a laser beam so as to selectively remove the polymer matrix in a restricted area after printing to leave only the conductive particles forming a highly conductive network and sintering the conductive particles with the laser energy to reveal the conductive copper. Then, alternately repeating the printing and sintering steps on the filaments one on top of the other until a complete component of arbitrary geometry, including both insulative and conductive structures, is formed layer-by-layer.
