J.A.M.E.S. Explores the Future of Additive Manufactured Electronics
February 18, 2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Andreas Salomon is chief scientist at J.A.M.E.S, a joint venture of Nano Dimension and HENSOLD. In this interview he discusses the evolving landscape of additively manufactured electronics, highlighting the integration of cutting-edge technologies, such as micro-dispensing and ink jetting. These technologies enhance capabilities in signal integrity and miniaturization. He also talks about the importance of sustainability, the need for standardized testing, and collaboration among industry leaders that will drive innovation and transform the future of electronics manufacturing through IPC’s standards development.
Marcy LaRont: Andreas, can you tell me about J.A.M.E.S.?
Andreas Salomon: J.A.M.E.S. stands for Jetted Additively Manufactured Electronics Sources. It is a community and network specialized for additively manufactured electronics in all materials, facades, shades, and processes. We are an online collaboration community with more than 11,000 registered users, and these members are truly working magic in printed electronics. This includes innovations from Nano Dimension, using photopolymers and sintered nanoparticle silver ink, advancements in 3D ceramics, or multi-material projects by AMAREA Technology, a startup we support in Dresden making remarkable progress with ceramic materials.
Joining our community is free. We build our success on strong partnerships that drive innovation and help address industry challenges. J.A.M.E.S bridges the gap between industry needs and requirements, connecting materials and process providers with printer manufacturers.
This is not just a small business case or a killer app. We are advancing research that drives real transformation, reshaping the fundamentals of printed circuit board manufacturing. Our work includes acquiring the necessary qualifications and approvals to turn discoveries into viable products for the future.
