MAASS | Our Path to a Scalable, Multi-Material AM Solution

JF Brandon
One of the ‘Holy Grails’ of Additive Manufacturing is creating mixed metal and polymer composite objects at a scale and cost that goes beyond prototyping and directly competes with existing industry techniques. MAASS takes on this challenge by combining laser machining, stereolithography, and nano-inks to make functional composite objects with integrated interconnects, antennas, load-bearing features, and sensors. We rely on direct light projection and engineering resins along with a patented material switching system to create the multi-polymer structures, and inexpensive fiber lasers to micromachine and bond metal films that are backed with nano-inks. In this manner, we can fabricate bulk metal elements within dense plastic structures at a scale, speed, and cost that is competitive with existing mass manufacturing methods.
