Digitally printing micro-scale pre-fabricated building blocks instead of simpler materials enables an alternative route to printed electronics and opens up fundamentally new manufacturing capabilities. However, existing printing technologies do not provide the required accuracy and orientation control to print such micro objects. We will describe a demonstration of the fundamental process steps of such an electronic chip printer based on electrographic manipulation and xerographic concepts.
