Overview
- A multifunctional additive manufacturing tool for use in R&D, product development and low volume manufacturing.
- Modular, interchangeable material processing and printing tools enable the use of the wide motion range of the device during multi-step processes.
- The platform can be equipped with main non-contact, functional print technologies (piezo-, ink- & aerosol-jetting) which allows the user to deposit every class of ink and/or paste used in printed electronics.
- A range of pre- and post-processing technologies is available to extend device´s materials handling capabilities.
- A FDM head enables the printing of structural parts with integrated electronics.
- The 5-axis range of print motion with a tailored CAD/CAM module makes the printing of complex 3D circuits a reality.
