Nano Dimension boosts speed of 3D printers, shows new resin

Nano Dimension Ltd., a leader in 3D printers for additive manufacturing, will introduce new technology developments spanning software and materials as part of its ever-expanding AM and Micro-AM portfolio at Formnext, Frankfurt, Germany..

At the event, Nano Dimension will launch advanced new software for the Fabrica micro 3D printers, which provide unparalleled micron level precision to capture the most intricate structural details for the production of high-precision micro-parts.

The new Fabrica software version 3.2.0 enables much faster print times of up to 70% across R&D and prototyping applications, thanks to the integration of productivity-enhancing parameters that also improve and simplify overall workflow. Existing users will be able to access the updated software via a free upgrade.

Also set to debut at Formnext will be an innovative new resin, AtaruTM, engineered specifically for Digital Light Processing (DLP) 3D printers. With its advanced formulation, the resin is designed to endure high temperatures and offers exceptional durability and resilience, while its distinctive low-loss dielectric properties ensure superior performance in radio frequency applications. Collectively, this makes Ataru the enabler to unlocking new opportunities in industrial-level additive manufacturing, particularly in high-performance material applications such as those demanded by the electronics, aerospace, and automotive sectors.

For industrial high-volume ceramic applications, the versatile Admatec series of 3D printers from Nano Dimension will also be represented. Engineered for both production-level serial manufacturing, the Admatec series boasts the capability to 3D print advanced complex technical ceramics making it perfectly suited to address demanding projects, including mass-production of silica shells and cores for high precision casting. At Formnext, the company will demonstrate Admatec’s capability within industrial manufacturing applications, such as the production of components for semiconductor equipment or process manufacturing, as well as its continued move towards end-to-end solutions for post-processing, such as de-binding and sintering furnaces.

Nano Dimension stand will also demonstrate the wide applications gamut addressable with the its extensive technology via interesting customer examples. These include medical device, microfluidics and bio/ medical research applications via its Fabrica series, as well as those spanning injection molding, tooling, radio frequency and antenna and environmentally demanding applications achievable with the new Ataru resin.
