Abstract: Micro-nano 3D printing is a disruptive new technology that has emerged in recent years. More than a dozen micro-nano 3D printing processes have been proposed after nearly ten years of rapid development. However, most of the existing micro-nano 3D printing technologies face a series of challenges, such as poor universality and compatibility of printing materials and substrates, difficulties in manufacturing large area macro/micro cross-scale structures, high production costs, and especially the challenging problem of conflicting forming efficiency (size) and printing accuracy. After a decade of technical research, An original electric-field-driven jet deposition micro-nano 3D printing new technology has been proposed and developed. Furthermore, a series of basic theories, numerical simulations, key technologies and equipment, printing materials, experimental research and process optimization, engineering applications, and other aspects have been carried out in more systematic and in-depth research. The basic principles of electric-field-driven jet deposition micro-nano 3D printing and the significant progress achieved in recent years are reviewed, especially the typical applications of the technology in advanced circuit and electronics manufacturing are systematically introduced, aiming to provide a new solution for the manufacturing of advanced circuits and electronics with low cost and good universality with industrial application prospects.
