N2 - Maskless Mesoscale Materials Deposition (M3D), newly developed manufacturing technology, have the ability to locally process deposition through a laser scanning process. Features down to 10 microns can be directly written in a wide variety of materials, including metals, ceramics, polymers and adhesives, on virtually any surface material - silicon, glass, polymers, metals and ceramics with three dimensional structures. In this paper we demonstrate enhancements to the traditional M3D system to extend the range of capabilities for manufacturing technologies. The VDK-4000 is newly developed system enhanced with a flexible robotic solution with multi-degree-of-freedom capability, and innovative software for transferring computer aided design (CAD) patterns. With such enhancements, one can now deposit on substrates with complex structures which offers the potential for revolutionary new end-products.
