UpNano has introduced the discharge of a brand new software program improve for its NanoOne platform of excessive decision 3D printers. The corporate says that with this improve, it has pushed the bounds of the ‘quickest’ two-photon polymerisation (2PP) in the marketplace.
With this improve, UpNano says that sensible stitching can enhance the standard of the ultimate product, and the ‘already excessive’ printing pace will be elevated additional. It provides that utilizing the identical goal and materials, a number of completely different print jobs will be mixed into one, saving prices and time.
UpNano says that the brand new options are simplified by an ‘intuitive’ person interface that’s an integral a part of all the corporate’s software program. The improve is appropriate with all NanoOne printers in line with the corporate.
The improve gives the flexibility for customers to outline a number of printing parameters individually and set complicated modifications of these parameters through the printing course of prematurely. The corporate claims the potential presents for the standard of the print product and the pace and effectivity of the printing course of will be ‘dramatic’.
“Now, merchandise with precisely outlined seams will be printed,” stated Denise Hirner, COO and Co-Founding father of UpNano. “The distinctive options of our newest improve assist to cut back this. By addressing extra parameters individually and dynamically, it’s now attainable to outline the precise positions of sewing traces. Relying on the ultimate construction, this enables for a wise integration of the seams into the design.”
The decision of the printing course of can be altered because it runs in line with UpNano. Elements that require much less decision will be printed on the lowest one vital, collectively in the identical printing run with components that require increased decision.
Hirner added: “One can print much less outlined components shortly and step-by-step enhance the decision of the method as one involves the finer outlined structural components. On this means very neat printing of complicated buildings with completely different necessities for decision turns into attainable and this may save as much as 50% time.”
UpNano says that combining the manufacturing of various components in a single print job is a characteristic that permits for ‘important’ discount of printing time in addition to substrate use, which is a step in direction of an automatic 2PP 3D printing course of, provided that the fabric and chosen goal stay the identical.
Areas the place UpNano’s 2PP 3D printers are getting used embody electronics and micro-optics, in addition to biocompatible functions in cell and medical analysis, and are being utilized in each business and academia.
