…has developed 3D printed capacitors with the company’s DragonFly additive manufacturing system. These capacitors are embedded in the body of the additively manufactured printed circuit boards (PCBs), saving space and eliminating the need for assembly, the company reports. This type of additive manufacturing of electronics validates the manufacturing applicability of built-in capacitors in PCBs printed with the DragonFly system. Nano Dimension’s testing with capacitors of different 3D dimensions have shown consistent results with statistically validated data. The repeatability results show less than 1% variance. The technology uses the same dielectric and metal traces as in the additively manufactured PCB yielding…
