…and assembly equipment. The Aerosol Jet solution works by precision jetting or “printing” an extremely fine mist of nanoparticle-based inks onto a surface. The HD2 can print features as narrow as 10 microns with placement accuracy under 5 microns. The nanoparticles are then sintered together, forming a solid metal conductor of copper, gold or silver. Insulating and adhesive materials can also be applied by the Aerosol Jet process with various integrated circuit packaging dielectric materials. As a primary application, the Aerosol Jet HD2 can serve as a drop-in replacement for the method of connecting electrical components with wire bonds, which…

…an E3D Hemera toolhead; all of which allows for precision and dimensional accuracy. Unlike many 3D printers, the Axi can print large volume builds to the full size of the print bed with edge-to-edge printing. It is also quiet, features a 3-year manufacturer’s warranty and comes with free U.S.-based customer and technical support. “We want to wish everyone a happy and safe Thanksgiving, and a joyous holiday season, and we figured offering massive savings off of our top-of-the-line printer would be a good gesture to do that,” says Dr. Christopher Sakezles, founder and CEO of SynDaver, a science and technology…

…double the production capacity, once again relying on the quality of the HP systems, which are capable of offering precision, repeatability and maximum rate even for series of thousands of pieces. This solution enables the automation of the process of removing dust from molded parts. It is a process that was previously carried out manually by operators, which represented a waste of time and resources. In addition, the automatic unpacking system developed by HP allows Weerg to recover more of the dust that can be returned to the systems with considerable advantages in terms of eco-sustainability.

…maneuvering packages in warehouses requires a high degree of precision, these SensorApps were developed to allow for the smooth automated flexibility of mobile robots. Human workers also receive significant help from these solutions, thus allowing for a safer and more efficient process. Dolly Positioning SensorApp When it comes to automation, success lies in precision. The automated pick-up of dollies with an AGV requires exact identification of the place and position of the dolly. The Dolly Positioning SensorApp helps satisfy this requirement within a working range of 1.5-3m. It works by positioning the camera in front of the dolly chassis The…

…new paper, it may create complex structures with nanometer-scale precision. Because many gels are compatible with living cells, the new method may boost the production of soft tiny medical devices such as drug delivery systems or flexible electrodes that can be inserted into the human body. Using a 3D printer to fabricate an object made of gel is a “bit more of a delicate cooking process,” as NIST researcher Andrei Kolmakov describes it. In the standard method, the 3D printer chamber is filled with a soup of long-chain polymers—long groups of molecules bonded together—dissolved in water. Then “spices” are added—special…
