W-band TWT circuit fabricated by 3D-printed mold electroforming
We demonstrate 3D-printed mold electroforming (3D-PriME) fabrication of a W-band serpentine waveguide TWT circuit. The method allows the creation of a solid copper circuit, suitable for a vacuum electron device, beginning with a plastic inverse mold built on a commercial 3D printer. We present detai...

Summary: | We demonstrate 3D-printed mold electroforming (3D-PriME) fabrication of a W-band serpentine waveguide TWT circuit. The method allows the creation of a solid copper circuit, suitable for a vacuum electron device, beginning with a plastic inverse mold built on a commercial 3D printer. We present details of the fabricated circuit and electromagnetic cold test results. |
