Enabling Science & Fundamental Research with µAM
CERES enables unprecedented research possibilities through use of template-free electrodeposition of pure metal. This provides a completely new set of possibilities in materials science studies and fundamental research.
The CERES system can print pure metal microstructures in both simple and complex geometries, thus offering a unique avenue to conducting microstructural characterization research.
Microscale metal parts such as needles, nozzles, and lattices can be created for other applications, and in geometries not possible with other technologies.

Microscale metal parts such as needles, nozzles, and lattices can be created for other applications, and in geometries not possible with other technologies.
Advantages:
- Printed structures are made entirely of high mechanical quality metal
- Unprecedented design freedom in microscale sizes
-
Allows for testing of custom architectures, e.g. microscale test pieces for tensile strength testing.
CERES excels at printing microscale objects, such as:
- Pillars (from <1 µm to 10 µm Ø)
- Coils (e.g. for MEMS switches, surface contacting, cell transfection)
- Lattices
- Hollow needles
-
Arrays of parts (coils, micropillars, needles, etc)
