Why nanoprintek?

---

When it comes to printing electronics, sensors, micro-batteries/supercapacitors, etc.., what if instead of wet printing technologies (i.e., ink-jet and aerosol-jet) there was a dry printing and additive nanomanufacturing technology that could enable: 

1. On-demand and in-situ generation of various pure nanoparticles (e.g., metals, insulators, semiconductors, superconductors, ceramics, composites, etc.) 
2. In-situ and real-time laser sintering of dry nanoparticles jet on various substrates (polyamide, PET, PDMS, paper, metal, ceramic, etc.), with no further post-processing
3. Multi-material printing of hybrid and composite materials and structures
