Although electrochemical additive manufacturing is widely applied in the field of micromachining and various electrochemical deposition technologies are applied, part of electrochemical technologies cannot be applied to additive manufacturing, such as electrochemical printing, tend to be more prone to printing and coating due to the limitation of the own conditions, the implementation conditions of the individual electrochemical additive manufacturing technologies are strict, the processing speed is extremely slow, and the required precision is extremely high, such as electrochemical scanning probe microscopy, and only a specific device can be molded. And the problems of poor surface quality, unstable crystal grain crystallization, poor localization and the like of the conventional formed part exist.
Therefore, a need exists for a special processing apparatus and method that can form microfabricated devices without thermal stress using the benefits of electrochemical additive manufacturing techniques.
