Blackstone Resources AG is pleased to announce that it has achieved a series of important milestones for its proprietary 3D printing technology to print lithium ion solid-state batteries. Following the conclusion of an extensive development contract with the German Fraunhofer Institute, the first prototypes for printed battery cells will be tested in Q1 2021.

During metal processing in the 3D laser printer, more than 2,500 °C are reached within milliseconds, causing some components of the alloys to evaporate. Empa researchers are now using the effect to create new alloys with novel properties and embed them in 3D-printed metallic work pieces with micrometer precision.
