Development of UV assisted 3D printing system for PCB manufacturing

Area: Astronomy & Space Sciences

Innovator: Dr. Narendra Kumar, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar National Institute of Technology, Jalandhar, Punjab

Funding agency: Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)

Benefits: The project being undertaken by ISRO in collaboration with academia is directly or indirectly beneficial to the society.

Focus Area: Additive Manufacturing

Co-PI: Shri Ajay Kumar, Space Applications Centre, ISRO, Ahmedabad, Gujarat

Executive Summary: The project aims to develop 3D printing system for PCB realisation. The proposed method aims to reduce the fabrciation time of PCB by 80% from conventional methods. The project envisages to provide a solution to a fully additive approach to fabricate PCBs in one set-up. This will aid in mass customization of the printed electronics and reduce time to market for the novel products. Moreover, the project will help in providing the solution to the on-demand fabrication of customized and complex electronics.
