A 3D-printed polymer micro-gripper with self-defined electrical tracks and thermal actuator

This paper presents a simple fabrication process that allows for isolated metal tracks to be easily defined on the surface of 3D printed micro-scale polymer components. The process makes use of a standard low cost conformal sputter coating system to quickly deposit thin film metal layers on to the s...
