- Additional information
- Light exposures as short as a few seconds were sufficient for direct metallisation of the illuminated polyetherimide surface. This photography‐inspired technique works for both flexible polyetherimide films and polymer materials used in 3D printing, at throughputs high enough to be commercially advantageous. This research was supported by EPSRC, later led to EP/T013680/1(£278k), and also generated an industrially supported project with Renishaw, UK (£32k).
