Electronics designers obtained a very early 3D printing Christmas existing. At the Printed Electronics USA seminar in November, Nano Dimension showed its three-axis inkjet DragonFly 2020 3D printer, which is designed to construct practical, multi-layer motherboard prototypes in simply a couple of hrs.

Companies regularly outsource production of published circuit board (PCB) prototypes because of the moment as well as expense associated with developing them. The DragonFly printer can allow them to take those procedures in residence.

According to the business, the printer can develop a total multi-layer PCB consisting of all affiliations between layers. Individuals can evaluate PCBs on the fly.

By establishing these models inside, designers could spend even more time exploring design options while also protecting beneficial copyright that could be dripped by a third-party prototype professional.

” For developers as well as engineers looking for ultra-rapid prototyping of PCBs, our 3D printer is a significant leap forward. “Moving their work from design to a prototype at an off-site printing facility could take weeks for the PCB to be ordered, created and delivered. In today’s competitive electronics markets, uncertain and also expensive hold-ups during PCB development can dramatically slow down time-to-market.

The preliminary version has a print envelop of 20cm by 20cm, yet bigger versions remain in development. The company established its AgCite conductive silver nanoparticle inks with Yissum, a Hebrew University technology transfer business.

The inks are available now; the printer will certainly be launched in 2016.
