Georgia Tech’s newcomer to 3D printing: Georgia Tech, an institution known for its extensive nanotechnology research facilities, has expanded its micro-additive manufacturing (µAM) capabilities. With the purchase of the CERES system from Exaddon AG, Georgia Tech has taken a significant step towards micro 3D printing.

The CERES system enables researchers at Georgia Tech to fabricate all-metal structures directly on micrometer-sized pre-structured chip surfaces. The system delivers remarkable precision at room temperature. Interestingly, this process is fully compatible with traditional integrated circuit (IC) and printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing processes. This paves the way for the production of hybrid devices using both µAM and photolithography processes.
Micro 3D printing: promoting interdisciplinary research
Exaddon AG sees the partnership with Georgia Tech as a significant step in strengthening µAM’s presence in the US academic market. Other renowned academic institutions, such as the University of Oregon and Purdue University, are already using the CERES system, which encourages interdisciplinary research nationwide.
Edgar Hepp, CEO of Exaddon, emphasized the importance of this acquisition:
“With CERES, research teams can take the next step and print highly conductive metal structures in shapes that are impossible with other technologies.”
New research opportunities through 3D printing
With this latest addition, Georgia Tech is now positioned to explore innovative possibilities in micro-additive manufacturing and position itself at the forefront of advanced nanotechnology research in the United States.
