DESCRIPTION:Ink-jet printing provides a family of mask-less digital proces
 ses for the controlled deposition of materials in liquid form. A wide rang
 e of materials\, including metals\, ceramics and polymers\, can be deposit
 ed\, and several process routes apart from direct additive deposition can 
 be used. \n\nThis lecture will discuss methods by which the various classe
 s of materials can be deposited\, and their applications to micro-manufact
 uring. It is concluded that most attention has so far been paid to thin-fi
 lm products\, and that the potential of ink-jet processes for the fabricat
 ion of 3D products has yet to be developed.\n
