Three-dimensional metal printing technology is an expanding field that has enormous potential applications in areas ranging from supporting structures, functional electronics to medical devices.

Printing ink is made using four components: resins, solvents, pigments and additives. Resin binds the ink together into a film that sticks on the printed surface. Solvents ensure consistent ink flow.
