Project contribution
Conductive materials for additive manufacturing
Fraunhofer IFAM developed and manufactured in the LiBio project conductive materials which can be used in additive manufacturing to produce functionalized and integrated cabin components. These new materials consist of a polymer and a metallic component which are "mixed" in a special compounder. Engineering plastics suitable for use in aircraft cabins have been evaluated as the polymer component. The metallic component, in the form of particles, flakes or fibres, has been used to achieve high electrical and/or thermal conductivity. In the following process step, filaments for 3D printing (Fused Filament Fabrication, FFF) have been extruded from them. Using FFF printers with several print heads, it is thus possible to produce components, for example with integrated conductive tracks or for targeted heat dissipation, in one work step.

These new materials consist of a polymer and a metallic component which are "mixed" in a special compounder. Engineering plastics suitable for use in aircraft cabins have been evaluated as the polymer component. The metallic component, in the form of particles, flakes or fibres, has been used to achieve high electrical and/or thermal conductivity. In the following process step, filaments for 3D printing (Fused Filament Fabrication, FFF) have been extruded from them. Using FFF printers with several print heads, it is thus possible to produce components, for example with integrated conductive tracks or for targeted heat dissipation, in one work step.
