Nano Dimension Announces Breakthrough in Materials Critical for Additively Manufactured Electronics
November 14, 2023 | Globe NewswireEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Nano Dimension Ltd., a leading supplier of Additively Manufactured Electronics (“AME”) and multi-dimensional polymer, metal & ceramic Additive Manufacturing (“AM”) 3D printing solutions, announced a breakthrough in the development of a material that is a critical enabler for the advancement of additively manufactured electronics (AME).
Materials, which are commonly known as consumables, are an important factor in the success of additive manufacturing at industrial scale. The functionality of the materials and their acceptance according to industry standards are both critical. Nano Dimension’s launch of INSU200, a dielectric ink boasting industry-leading thermo-mechanical properties, addresses both with increased functionality and greater alignment with industry standards, even going so far as to set new standards. In terms of functionality, the new material can withstand the rigorous demands of Restriction of Hazardous Substances (“ROHS”) compliant reflow soldering processes. With regards to industry standards, the new material aligns with a number of reliability standards set by IPC, the leading global association for the electronics industry, and the FED (Fachverband Elektronik-Design e.V.) in Europe.
Nano Dimension’s materials breakthrough is the result of a concerted effort by the Company, which has made materials science and development a core focus of its resource allocation strategy. This is evident in the approximate forty scientists and engineers working at the Company working across materials dedicated research facilities and labs in Germany and Israel.
Customers and industry stakeholders will have the opportunity to see this material first-hand at the Productronica Conference in Munich, Germany on November 14-17. INSU200 will be available for customers in Q1 of 2024.
Yoav Stern, Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board of Directors of Nano Dimension, added: “We are proud to share this breakthrough in materials with our customers and the industry. When we set out a strategic plan in 2021, materials development was a core focus for our R&D team. The reality of additive manufacturing is that no matter how good the printer may be, materials must also be leading. This development achieves just that with improved functionality and critical industry standard adherence without which wider adoption would be greatly limited.”
