Characterization of soft magnetic nano-material deposited with M3D technology

Direct Write Technologies are being utilized in antennas, engineered structures, sensors, and tissue engineering. One form of Direct Write Technology is Maskless Mesoscale Material Deposition (M3D). The M3D process is a process that uses aerosol formation, transport and deposition. Inks for the M3D process utilize nano-particles in suspension for deposition. Soft magnetic material was formulated as an ink suspension, deposited and characterized. This paper will report on the results obtained after depositing the soft magnetic material. The results of the permeability are calculated from magnetic structures created with the deposition. These results are compared to conventional methods of soft magnetic material formation and construction.
