“…Resistances roughly double that of bulk silver were achieved; however any variation in processing parameters (low focussing ratio and high translational velocities) leads to increased porosity and, therefore, increased resistance [1]. To the best of the authors' knowledge, the finest reported conductive metallic lines produced using AJP were produced by Cai et al [18] who presented line widths of 10 μm using a silver ink (Fig. 11).…”

Aerosol Jet Printing (AJP) is an emerging contactless direct write approach aimed at the production of fine features on a wide range of substrates. Originally developed for the manufacture of electronic circuitry, the technology has been explored for a range of applications, including, active and passive electronic components, actuators, sensors, as well as a variety of selective chemical and biological responses. Freeform deposition, coupled with a relatively large stand-off distance, is enabling researchers to produce devices with increased geometric complexity compared to conventional manufacturing or more commonly used direct write approaches. Wide material compatibility, high resolution and independence of orientation have provided novelty in a number of applications when AJP is conducted as a digitally driven approach for integrated manufacture. This overview of the technology will summarise the underlying principles of AJP, review applications of the technology and discuss the hurdles to more widespread industry adoption. Finally, this paper will hypothesise where gains may be realised through this assistive manufacturing process.

“…Examples of materials deposited using AJP range from silver inks [15] and ceramics [16] to biological matter, such as proteins and strands of DNA [17]. Material flexibility does not come at the expense of resolution, with research groups claiming depositions in the region of 10 μm [17,18].…”

“…The physical nozzle is the predominant factor in determining the scale of the printed feature, with 100µm being the smallest available nozzle. Further focusing can then be accomplished using the virtual nozzle to achieve deposits approaching 10µm [18], [19]. This secondary focusing method works by surrounding the aerosol stream with a sheath gas that both reduces the diameter of the aerosol stream and collimates the aerosol flow.…”

Soft robotics is a fast growing field of engineering where there are significant opportunities to realize new forms of actuation and sensing. However, there is also a challenge to translate some of the lab-based developments into a robust industrial manufacturing process. Linked to this is also the opportunity to create new forms of functionality in soft robotic devices by employing a flexible, digital manufacturing process for their creation. Overcoming these hurdles, and unlocking the possibilities for greater functionality, is likely to be a key enabler for wider applications and adoption of soft robotics in practical applications. We present a system of computer-controlled Aerosol Jet Printing that will enable complex soft robotic structures to be manufactured. The process is demonstrated through the deposition of a carbon-based conductive ink on to elastomeric substrates for high resolution, conformal and multilayer patterning. Functional demonstrators, in the form of a dielectric elastomer actuator and strain sensor, are produced to showcase the potential of the technique. *
