Layer Manufacturing of Heat Exchange Elements using Photochemical Machining, Electroplating and Diffusion Brazing

Additive Processing of Polymers

“…[2,7] Layer laminate manufacturing is already accessible for several materials. [63][64][65][66][67][68][69] Some papers deal with the joining of single layers. [68][69][70][71][72] Actually, predominantly paper-binder combinations are used as foil material, although they are not the preferred materials for most manufacturing requirements due to their limited mechanical properties.…”

[68][69][70][71][72] Actually, predominantly paper-binder combinations are used as foil material, although they are not the preferred materials for most manufacturing requirements due to their limited mechanical properties. [73] To compete with other fast-growing prototyping technologies, the LOM process must be enhanced so that complex shapes with embedded functional inserts [74] can be created from different polymer based foil materials, such as PC, PE, poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) or poly(ethyleneterephthalate) (PET).…”
