MesoPlasma™ Printed Instrumentation

MesoPlasma™ Direct Write printing is an additive manufacturing process based on plasma spray technology, whereby materials are printed onto substrates or conformal components in precise patterns. The technology provides innovative product designs and solutions enabling integrated sensing, heating, and communication for applications in wide-ranging industries including Aerospace & Defense, Power Generation, Satellite, and Semiconductor. The versatility of the process allows a wide range of materials to be deposited including metals, sensor alloys, precious metals, and ceramic dielectrics. A key advantage is the ability to fabricate sensor patterns directly onto conformal surfaces that demonstrate performance and durability in high temperature, demanding environments.

The Company’s MesoPlasma™ printing technology is currently used to manufacture sensors for commercial aircraft and heaters onto flight hardware. MesoPlasma™ printing technology is used to deposit thermocouples, strain gauges, and heat flux sensors onto 3D-printed Inconel components to support gas turbine engine component design and validation. This presentation will summarize the Company’s MesoPlasma™ printing capabilities and high temperature sensor performance as well as highlight opportunities for embedded, structural electronics.
