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 alternative 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, fast prototyping, and the low-volume manufacturing of 3D printed electronics. It combines a number of printing applied sciences with floor mount gadget choose and place and 5-axis movement management. Utilizing a standardized, high-performance management system, the 15XBT affords 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 useful supplies – conductive inks and pastes, dielectrics, and different useful supplies that may be precisely deposited onto complex-shaped, non-planar substrates. Moreover, the system may 3D print mechanical buildings in thermoplastics, thermosets, and ceramics to allow the manufacturing of ‘totally 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 revolutionary and sustainable options to a world market,” mentioned Dr. Martin Hedges, Managing Director of Neotech. “The venture will allow distinctive product designs that, for the primary time, mix mechanical, electrical, and doubtlessly optical performance.”

“We’re very glad and happy putting in the brand new 15XBT multi-material printer in our amenities. We now have over 15 years expertise in 2D printed electronics and this method is the important thing piece of apparatus we must be aggressive within the rising sector of 3D printed electronics. We are actually outfitted to include passive and lively 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 method of 3D printed electronics,” mentioned Javier Bravo, researcher at NAITEC.
