Neotech AMT has accomplished the primary set up of its new 15XBT system for 3D printed electronics at NAITEC, in Navarra, Spain. The 15XBT is a substitute mannequin for the corporate’s best-selling PJ15X – with main upgrades to the mechanics, HMI, and management system, in addition to the mixing of a brand new device calibration station.
The brand new system is focused at R&D, speedy prototyping, and the low-volume manufacturing of 3D printed electronics. It combines a number of printing applied sciences with floor mount system choose and place and 5-axis movement management. Utilizing a standardized, high-performance management system, the 15XBT gives a transparent path to collection manufacturing for processes developed on the platform.
By means of the selection of a number of printing applied sciences, the 15XBT helps the widest number of purposeful supplies – conductive inks and pastes, dielectrics, and different purposeful supplies that may be precisely deposited onto complex-shaped, non-planar substrates. Moreover, the system may 3D print mechanical constructions in thermoplastics, thermosets, and ceramics to allow the manufacturing of ‘absolutely additive’ mechatronics.
“I’m delighted that the primary 15XBT has been chosen by NAITEC. They’re one of many pre-eminent facilities of excellence for mobility and mechatronics in Europe, offering modern and sustainable options to a world market,” mentioned Dr. Martin Hedges, Managing Director of Neotech. “The challenge will allow distinctive product designs that, for the primary time, mix mechanical, electrical, and probably optical performance.”
“We’re very blissful and glad putting in the brand new 15XBT multi-material printer in our amenities. We’ve got over 15 years expertise in 2D printed electronics and this technique is the important thing piece of kit we should be aggressive within the rising sector of 3D printed electronics. We at the moment are geared up to include passive and energetic electronics to our buyer’s elements from the automotive and mechatronic sectors. We are going to assist corporations to innovate, enhancing their current merchandise or creating new ones with the disruptive strategy of 3D printed electronics,” mentioned Javier Bravo, researcher at NAITEC.
