Composites
Markforged composite printers use a base plastic matrix reinforced with continuous fibers. Combining the materials during printing
yields composite parts far stronger, stiffer, and more robust than conventional 3D printed plastics.
Plastic Matrix Fiber Reinforcement
In Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF), a printer heats thermoplastic filament to Continuous Filament Fabrication (CFF) is proprietary technology that reinforces
near melting point and extrudes it through its nozzle, building a plastic matrix plastic printed parts with continuous fibers on each layer of a part. Users can
layer by layer. Plastics can be reinforced by any one type of fiber. control the layers reinforced, amount, orientation, and type of reinforcing fiber.

Dispense on the materials you want.
Use ridgid substrates like FR4, glass and ceramics, or
flexible films like Polyimide (Kapton) or silicone. After
printing, ink is cured at 200°C for 30 mins to ensure
excellent electrical conductivity and soldering
properties.
From initial concept to low volume runs.
Forget the hassle of stencils and dispense solder

board takes only 15 minutes. When it's done, mount
the components on and let the V-One's 550W heater
reflow your board right before your eyes.

LENS systems use a high-power laser together with pow-
dered metals to build fully dense structures directly from a
3D CAD solid model. The CAD model is automatically sliced
into a tool-path, which instructs the LENS machine how to
build the part. The part is constructed layer by layer under

PACKAGING & ASSEMBLY
Printed 3d Interconnects Printed RDL for Flip Chip BGA Printed Resistors and Printed Multi-Layer Circuit Printed 3D Interconnects
for QFN Package Capacitors Across Trench
From printed 3D Interconnects and RDLs, to embedded passives and fine feature attach, the HD Series in-line high density
deposition system is a flexible platform that meets today’s most demanding application challenges.
PRINTED 3D INTERCONNECTS
Direct printing of conformal 3D interconnects as an alternative to
wire-bonding provides wide-ranging benefits, including smaller
footprint, lower package height, reduced crosstalk and improved
mechanical reliability. The Aerosol Jet solution can produce inter-
connect traces as narrow as 25-micron to support pad pitches
down to 50-micron, and the solution is applicable to direct die
attach and die stack applications, ie: combining dedicated mem-
ory with processor.
COMPONENT AND DIE ATTACH
With its unique ability to print fine features with high viscosity
inks, the Aerosol Jet HD platform can produce high resolution ad-
hesive pads with features as small as 25-micron. This supports
conductive attach of today’s smallest die and components, with-
out the need for manual re-work, increasing overall throughput
and eliminating wasteful end-of-line clean-up steps.
PRINTED DIELECTRICS, INSULATORS AND ADHESIVES
In addition to conductive materials, the Aerosol Jet HD platform performs high resolu-
tion printing of a wide range of common non-conductive electronics materials. Appli-
cations include MEMS bonding, seal rings, local passivation, and insulative overcoats.
When coupled with conductor printing, the system can produce high density cross-
over and multi-layer circuitry.
CHIP AND BOARD LEVEL SHIELDING APPLICATIONS
The Aerosol Jet HD platform can produce precision conformal coatings on non-planar sur-
faces, enabling chip and board level EMI shielding as required by today’s mobile devic-
es. Larger nozzles enable single-pass printing of coatings measuring from millimeters
to centimeters in width, while maintaining uniform layer thickness from 100nm to 10’s
of microns. This capability, along with the HD’s fine feature printing and edge coatings of
complex packages, mean that selective exposure to contacts and ground planes are now
35
possible.LAB SYSTEMS

SAVE TIME, MINIMIZE DEVELOPMENT RISK AND GET TO
MARKET FASTER WITHOUT SECURITY RISKS
The DragonFly 2020 Pro 3D Printer enables companies involved in electronics to take control of their development cycles by 3D
printing their own circuit boards. From proofs of concept, to design validation, to test fixtures, in-house 3D printing of multilayer
PCBs shortens design and test cycles, from months or weeks to days. Development teams can now introduce more agile
hardware development processes at every prototyping stage. This reduces time-to-market and increases innovation.
Nano Dimension’s DragonFly 2020 Pro, multi-material 3D printer brings together an extremely precise inkjet deposition printer,
dedicated nano inks, and novel software to allow designers and engineers to effortlessly print conductive and insulating
materials in one print job. The full range of PCB features can be 100% printed - including interconnections such as vias and
through-holes – without etching, drilling, plating, or waste; to produce professional, multilayer PCBs, within hours.
This advanced printing platform allows designers and engineers to develop different parts of the circuit in parallel – testing and
iterating on the fly to accelerate innovation and improve organizational performance. With the DragonFly 2020 Pro 3D Printer
many of the complexities and bottlenecks inherent in PCB prototyping are removed, allowing companies to take control of their
development cycles. The result is reduced overall development time, improved flexibility, and fewer development risks. This
enables companies to bring better electronics to the market more quickly, while keeping sensitive design information in-house
and staying on budget.

Nano Dimension’s extremely precise inkjet deposition system allows for simultaneous 3D printing of conductive silver
nanoparticle ink (metal) and insulating ink (dielectric polymer). This sets new standards for accuracy, complexity, and speed
in the fields of both 3D printed electronics and professional electronics development. Upon completion of a 3D print job,
there is no need for post-processing. Multi-material 3D printing is game-changing, allowing designers and engineers to
print polymers and metals together to create a functional part. This is a revolutionary approach to making electronics with
the potential to be more compact, denser, and ultimately non-planar.
