9 Laser-Induced Forward Transfer Towards Additive Manufacturing

Fig. 9.2 Number of publications associated with LIFT since 2000. Obtained from Scopus search
results [21]
Fig. 9.3 Schematics of liquid-phase LIFT (left), solid-phase LIFT (middle), DRL-LIFT (right)
through the transparent receiver substrate and irradiates the surface of the material
under transfer that is coated on the donor substrate, propelling it towards the beam
originating direction and on the receiver substrate. Finally, MAPLE, is an approach
very similar to LIFT but the laser fluences that are being used are below the ablation
threshold of the materials under investigation, therefore no vaporization is observed
an advantage that may be used for the deposition of complex structures.
