Abstract:

The invention relates to production of microcomponents comprising layers, each consisting in a material chosen from metals, ceramics… Two specific inks are deposited on a substrate in a predetermined pattern. The achieved microcomponent is obtained after complete consolidation of one ink layers and complete or partial removal of the other.
