An apparatus for contactless manipulation of material and components, such as electronic components, includes of material and/or component feed devices; acoustic transducer arrays; at least one material and/or component joining device; base on which object is formed; a computing unit with an executable program. The program is used to control acoustic transducers that generate an acoustic field required for particle manipulation. The control program can receive and process a signal coming from a feedback device in order to estimate position of material particles or components and improve manipulation accuracy.
