o Syringe printing – Syringe pump extruder selectively deposits droplets of nanoparticle ink controlled by pneumatic pressure
o Aerosol Jet Printing – Aerosol printer head jets aerosolized nanomaterial ink with great precision, generating 2-4 times higher print resolution than inkjets. The distance between the print head and substrate can be varied, unlike in syringe printing.
o Selective Laser sintering – High power laser selectively fuses small particles in a powder bed, reducing need for support structures while manufacturing
o Laser machining – Subtractive manufacturing that uses lasers to cut away and remove build material
o Fused Deposition Modeling (Currently for small structures) – Build material is heated to melting temperature and extruded out a nozzle head onto build table
o Component pick-and-place
