Israeli 3D printed electronics company Nano Dimension has announced the development of 3D printed capacitors manufactured using its DragonFly electronics additive manufacturing system.
The capacitors are embedded within the layers of the company’s 3D printed circuit boards (PCBs), meaning they can both be 3D printed in one job, therefore saving space and eliminating the need for assembly.
Nano Dimension performed extensive testing around the 3D printed capacitors to ensure repeatability of the component with the DragonFly system.
“The test results clearly show that with the DragonFly system our customers can achieve repeatability comparable to that of traditional processes in short-run manufacturing of capacitors using 3D printing,” commented Amit Dror, CEO of Nano Dimension.
3D printed electronics
Nano Dimension’s DragonFly 3D printer is capable of producing customized PCBs on-demand.
In an interview, Amit Dror told 3D Printing Industry “The DragonFly LDM is the next evolutionary step in the DragonFly chain.”
Starting out with systems that can 3D print multilayer PCBs, Nano Dimension has since expanded its technology, introducing the fabrication of antennas, capacitors, and “just recently” Dror added, “transformers.” In February 2019, the company was granted a patent for its dielectric ink used to manufacture its 3D printing electronics.
Manufacturers and organizations are exploring the potential of 3D printed PCBs using Nano Dimension’s technology in order to reduce the number of steps typically needed to make PCBs, and open up new possibilities in electronics.
Saving space on 3D printed PCBs
The company tested capacitors with different 3D dimensions, with each reportedly demonstrating consistent results with statistically validated data.
Repeatability tests of the 3D printed capacitors showed less than 1 percent variance between the components.
The results are based on over 260 tests with 30 different 3D printed capacitor dimensions.
