Zusammenfassung: | This paper presents design and performance validation of 3D printed electronic
components, 3D
toroidal air-core inductors, fabricated by multi-material based Fused Deposition
Modelling (FDM) 3D
printing technology and electroless copper
plating. Designs
of toroidal inductor is investigated with different core shapes and winding
numbers; circular and half-circular cores with 10 and 13 turns of windings. Electroless
plated
copper
thin film ensures
3D printed
toroidal plastic structures to possess inductive behaviors. The inductance is demonstrated
reliably with an applied source frequency from 100 kHz to 2 MHz as designs vary. An RL
circuit is utilized to test the fabricated inductors’ phase-leading characteristics with
corresponding phase angle changes. |
