Abstract
The invention relates to a 3D inkjet printing process for producing a component with a conductor body and an insulating body. The invention further relates to a component produced using the method. For reasons of simplicity, the application refers to the conductor body and the insulating body in the singular, which includes the plural.
Claims8
A method for producing a component with a conductor body and an insulating body (20) adjacent thereto, using a 3D inkjet printer with a first print head for printing a solidifiable, conductive, first ink to form the conductor body (10) and a second print head for printing a non conductive, solidifiable, second ink to form the insulating body (20) the method comprising:
- a) forming the conductor body (10) from conductive layer blocks (BL1, BL2), such that each conductive layer block (BL1, BL2) consists of between 2 and 16 conductive layers (SL1, SL2 . . . ) the conductive layers (SL1, SL2 . . . ) formed as a block successively and wherein each of the conductive layers (SL1, SL2 . . . ) is obtained by printing with the first ink and subsequent solidification;
- b) forming the insulation body (10) from a non-conductive layer blocks (BN1, BN2), such that each non-conductive layer block (BN1, BN2) consists of between 2 and 16 non-conductive layers (SN1, SN2 . . . ), the non-conductive layers (SN1, SN2 . . . ) are formed as a block in succession and wherein each of these non-conductive layers (SN1, SN2 . . . ) is obtained by printing with the second ink and subsequent solidification;
- and
- c) obtaining a smooth outer surface of the conductor body (10) with low HF impedance.
