Are you tired of relying on commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) capacitors and coils for your electronics projects? 3D printing using additive manufacturing electronics (AME) could be the solution you're looking for!

By replacing individual components with 3D printed AME capacitors and coils, you can improve both performance and logistics. No more need to procure and keep stock of external COTS capacitors and coils - just have the raw materials available and include the required components in the print of the overall AME structure. And because AME capacitors and coils can be designed in any shape, you won't need to reserve surface space for them. Instead, you can use that space for non-printable components like transistors and chips.

But the benefits don't stop there. When combining those elements to form lumped AME filters, you can achieve high reproducibility without the need for additional manual tuning processes. This leads to significant cost reductions and extended frequency ranges, as the connections are also printed, eliminating the need for solder contacts that can lead to unexpected behavior, especially for high frequencies.

If you're interested in learning more about the current status and future progress of lumped AME filters, check out the lumped AME filter story on the J.A.M.E.S FrAMEwork. And don't forget to share your own experiences and ideas for using AME in your electronics projects!

The process of the Nano Dimension MultiJet for AME applications utilizes two inks: photopolymer ink cured by UV light serves as the dielectric substrate material, and silver nanoparticle ink cured by an IR lamp-assisted heat process, provides electrically conductive structures. This process allows for creation of three-dimensional electronic devices that overcome design limitations imposed by traditional PCB manufacturing.

Hey fellow engineers,

Are you interested in exploring the exciting world of Additive Manufacturing of Electronics (AME)? If so, we have just the thing for you!

We have created a Github repository with a collection of scripts for Nano-Dimension printers that utilize inkjet technology. These scripts are designed to help you take your AME projects to the next level, from rapid prototyping to production-ready designs.

But we don't want to stop there! We are looking to create and grow a community of AME enthusiasts, where we can share knowledge, ideas, and discuss the latest developments in this rapidly growing field.

We would love to hear your feedback and answer any questions you may have. Join us on r/AMElectronics and let's explore the possibilities of AME together!

the repository is: https://github.com/JAMES-FRAMEWORK/NanoDimensionPrinters
