Electronics developers obtained an early 3D printing Christmas existing. At the Printed Electronics USA seminar in November, Nano Dimension demonstrated its three-axis inkjet DragonFly 2020 3D printer, which is developed to develop functional, multi-layer motherboard models in simply a few hours.

Companies often contract out manufacturing of published circuit board (PCB) prototypes as a result of the moment and also cost involved in constructing them. The DragonFly printer might permit them to take those procedures in house.

According to the business, the printer can develop a complete multi-layer PCB including all affiliations in between layers. Individuals could check PCBs on the fly.

By establishing these models internally, designers could invest more time checking out design choices while additionally securing valuable copyright that might be leaked by a third-party model contractor.

” For designers and also developers searching for ultra-rapid prototyping of PCBs, our 3D printer is a substantial jump onward. The DragonFly 3D Printer gets rid of the disappointment they face when they reach the prototyping and also testing phase,” claimed Simon Fried, chief marketing police officer at Nano Dimension. “Moving their work from design to a prototype at an off-site printing facility could take weeks for the PCB to be purchased, created and also shipped. If additional iterations are required, it’s back to the prototyping house for another cycle. In today’s affordable electronic devices markets, unforeseeable and pricey hold-ups throughout PCB advancement can significantly slow down time-to-market. That’s the development risk as well as traffic jam that we’re getting rid of with the DragonFly 2020.”

The initial version has a print envelop of 20cm by 20cm, yet larger versions are in growth. The firm established its AgCite conductive silver nanoparticle inks with Yissum, a Hebrew University tech transfer company.

The inks are offered currently; the printer will be released in 2016.
