A material jetting metal additive manufacturing process that deposits droplets of material on the current build layer. The droplets are created through Magneto Hydrodynamic Droplet (MHD) ejection. A metal wire feedstock is melted in a heating chamber, and an electromagnetic pulse is used to create a force on the liquid metal that results in droplets exiting a nozzle and depositing them on the build surface. This technology is being explored for use in additive manufacturing to create prototype PCBs and other electrical components using fully dense conducting metals rather than conductive inks.
Abbreviated as MMJ.
