January Special Focus Issue: Design for Additive
In this Special Focus Issue of Digital Engineering, learn about the latest advancements in design for additive manufacturing, including new software tools, additive in automotive, custom medical devices, and more.
Azul 3D has released a small-scale 3D printing system, the POND, designed to enable faster material and application development on its HARP technology.
Available to select partners, POND is a research-friendly tool built to accelerate identification, validation, and commercialization of applications.
Featuring a liquid-liquid print interface that enables continuous printing and full thermal control, Azul 3D’s HARP technology powers its suite of systems and is now available in a cost- and material-efficient form factor.
Maintaining the full 72um high-resolution and high-intensity light projection system of the rest of the Azul 3D portfolio, POND’s developed processes and materials are immediately scalable to production systems.
With PONDs already installed in the field, researchers are developing new-to-industry capabilities. This includes scientists at Sandia National Laboratory, who are utilizing the liquid-liquid interface to enable embedded electronics in printed components, presenting new levels of integration and miniaturization in consumer electronics and beyond.
Azul 3D’s suite of printing platforms—OCEAN, LAKE, and POND—all harness the modular HARP technology for next-generation digital manufacturing.
