- This paper, selected as a journal cover article, presents multidisciplinary research stemming from two consecutive EPSRC grants (EP/L022133/1, EP/N018265/2) in collaboration with Heriot-Watt University. This research combines advances in material science with manufacturing processes to create a fully digitally driven process chain to selectively metallise polymers using light based patterning methods. This approach overcomes many of the limitations of current manufacturing methods and has significant potential commercial applications to both the microelectronics and 3D printing industries by offering a high throughput, reconfigurable production process that can generate highly complex devices.
