ALDNanoSolutions, CU-Boulder and CoorsTek to develop new additive manufacturing precursors

As reported by ALD Nano Solutions: ALD NanoSolutions continues its long standing relationship with the University of Colorado with a $90,000 grant from the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade. The funding from the Advanced Industry Accelerator grant will develop direct ink writing using particle ALD core-shell precursors for net-shape additive manufacturing of advanced 3-D ceramic structures. Professor Alan Weimer at the University of Colorado is partnering with ALD NanoSolutions and CoorsTek to develop an enabling production process for the next generation of advanced 3-D ceramics for use in additive manufacturing.

The program will use Particle ALD(TM) to coat sintering additives directly onto fine ceramic particles and optimize the surface properties for efficient dispersion and bonding with carrier resins. This creates the optimum environment to print the highest quality 3-D ceramic parts. The precision of the Particle ALD(TM) method is leveraged to produce ideal raw materials and the scalability of the technique provides a cost effective method of production.
