  • Methods of operating electrochemical-additive manufacturing systems comprising modular cartridge assemblies
    Patent number: 12668023
    Abstract: Described herein are methods of operating ECAM systems comprising modular cartridge assemblies. A modular cartridge assembly comprises a base, a cover, an ECAM printhead, a support unit, and a control board. The base has an opening providing access to the support unit (e.g., for heat transfer and fluidic connections), which is sealed against the base around this opening. The cover also has an opening exposing the electrode array of the ECAM printhead. The ECAM printhead is also sealed against the cover around this opening. The control board selectively activates the electrode of the array and is positioned within a cavity formed by the base and cover. The modular cartridge assembly allows replacing the ECAM printhead when the electrode array is damaged (e.g., dissolved during the ECAM process), while other assembly components can be reused. Furthermore, the support unit provides alignment and heat transfer for the ECAM printhead.
