摘要
就像简单地用办公打印机在纸上打印图片一样直接写出 电子产品是电子产品行业长久以来的梦想。笔者实验室已发明和论证了首台液态金属打印机的原型，为该目标的实现迈出了关键的一步。作为在不久的将来为社会制造非常实用的桌面液态金属打印机的持续努力的一部分，本项工作旨在将此技术向消费者层面推进。通过一系列针对关键技术问题的工业设计和技术优化，如工作可靠性、打印分辨率、自动控制、人机界面设计、软件、硬件和软硬件之间的整合，可制造出一台高品质的个人桌面液态金属打印机(为进行大批量工业化生产做准备)。本文解释了此打印机的基本特点和重要技术原理，并论证了为制造功能性装置(如发光二极管(LED) 显示器)的几种可能的 消费者终端用途。此液态金属打印机是一种自动的个人电子产 品生产工具，其使用简单，成本低，并具有许多潜在用途。本文论证了这种新设备对一些新兴需求可能发挥的重要作用，概述了这项尖端技术的远景，并与几种传统打印方法进行了对比分析。可以预见，在不久的将来，这种桌面液态金属打印机将在学术领域、工业、教育和个人用户中成为基本的电子产品生 产工具，并会被用于许多新兴实践中。
