3D printed batteries to transform energy storage

Novel additive manufacturing techniques
We aim to achieve order of magnitude improvements in battery performance by using novel visible light polymerisation in particle rich slurries. By selectively hardening photopolymerisable compounds across very large areas at resolutions below 16 microns we can rapidly create significantly greater electrode contact.
We can also do this at low cost. LCD screens enable large areas to be encoded with light cost-effectively creating polymerisation at very high resolution. Our novel viscous material dispensing system for particle-rich slurries allows large areas to be dispensed rapidly.
Photocentric is focused on delivering benefits of low cost and production scale. Industrialising the 3D printing of battery electrodes, enabling the additional power created from the freedom of geometry in three dimensions.
