Fig. 2: Resolution-deposition tradeoff plot for droplet-on-demand metal jetting.
From: Enabling multi-resolution droplet-on-demand metal jetting through tailored pulsing
Droplet size is assumed to be the same as the orifice size and is shown on the x-axis, droplet jetting frequency based on the theoretical droplet pinch-off time on the y-axis, and the resulting volumetric deposition rate in cm3/hr on the z-axis. a 3D view of the tradeoff plot; b 2D (top-down) view. The magenta curve outlines the max deposition rate based on a the max ejection frequency for a given orifice size for aluminum. Jetting is not feasible beyond the dotted line because droplets do not have enough time to break up.
