This review discusses methods, challenges, and opportunities for direct‐write and 3D printing of low melting point, gallium‐based liquid metal alloys at room temperature. Alloys of gallium exhibit high conductivity and high stretchability making them well suited for use in soft circuitry for stretchable electronics and soft robotics. In addition, the liquid nature of the metal enables entirely new ways to pattern metals at room temperature; herein, the focus is placed on additive printing via nozzle‐based methods. Room temperature printing of liquid metals enables rapid fabrication of complex geometries (with dimensions as small as 10 µm) on a wide range of materials, such as polymers. These processes can be used to make metallic conductors for devices with self‐healing capabilities, soft/stretchable electrodes, and sensors.

液态金属直写和3D打印：评论

这篇综述讨论了在室温下对低熔点镓基液态金属合金进行直接写入和3D打印的方法，挑战和机遇。镓合金具有高导电性和高拉伸性，因此非常适合用于可拉伸电子设备和软机器人的软电路中。另外，金属的液体性质使得在室温下对金属进行构图的全新方法成为可能。在本文中，重点是通过基于喷嘴的方法进行增材印刷。液态金属的室温印刷可以在各种材料（例如聚合物）上快速制造复杂的几何形状（尺寸小至10 µm）。这些工艺可用于制造具有自愈功能的设备，软/可拉伸电极和传感器的金属导体。
