Abstract

A conceptual design of a drop-on-demand(DOD) micro metal droplet print head, which is characterized as the non-heat affection of piezoelectric actuator and a desirable controllability on droplet condition, is devised. With a 2D axisymmetric model and a VOF model, the droplet evolution is simulated for understanding the mechanism within. Parametric studies are followed to investigate relationship between droplet condition and print head parameters for realizing accurate control of droplet condition.
