Most of the metal additive manufacturing technologies are focused on high cost and high end applications. There is in need, a low cost additive manufacturing technology suitable for low and high end metallic applications. Robotic automated welding can be considered as an alternative to manufactured large scale metal parts with layer by layer approach. However, many obstacles have to be overcome...

This paper deals with a method for low cost power electronic substratescreation, which are used for power electronic devices. Direct bond copper (DBC) technology is suitable for creating substrates with excellent thermal and electrical conductivity and good mechanical properties. Furthermore, DBC allows to create copper layers with the thickness of hundreds micrometers in one processing step. I...
