METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A SINTERED STRUCTURE ON A SUBSTRATE

摘要

A Method of manufacturing a sintered structure on a substrate is provided. To this end, a particle-charged liquid is provided on the substrate by means of a (multiple print head) ink jet printer. Subsequently, the liquid is evaporated and the particles contained therein are sintered layer by layer. Said layer-by-layer laser sintering enables 3-dimensional products having a relatively high dimensional accuracy to be manufactured. Preferably, evaporation of the liquid also takes place by means of (the same or) a laser. The liquid preferably comprises particles of glass, ceramics or metal compounds in the form of a sol-gel solution or a colloidal sol.
