Abstract: Thermal interface materials deposited in solid form, in a layered manner, and their uses in electronics assembly are described. In one implementation, a method includes: forming an assembly including multiple solid metal thermal interface materials (TIMs) between a first device and a second device such that a first surface of the solid metal TIMs is in touching relation with a surface of the first device, and a second surface of the solid metal TIMs opposite the first surface is in touching relation with a surface of the second device, the solid metal TIMs including a first solid metal TIM and a second solid metal TIM; and forming a liquid TIM alloy from the solid metal TIMs by heating the assembly above a first solidus temperature of the first solid metal TIM, the liquid TIM alloy having a second solidus temperature below the first solidus temperature.

Abstract: Some implementations of the disclosure are directed to a build plate assembly including a body dimensioned for use in a 3D printing device, and a solid insert of a metal or metal alloy. The body includes an interior cavity formed through a top of the body, and extending to an opening at a first side of the body. The solid insert includes a top surface for forming a 3D printed metal object in the 3D printing device. The solid insert is configured to slidably couple, through the opening at the first side of the body, into the interior cavity of the body.
