Nano Dimension Ltd. has received a purchase order from a leading Western intelligence agency, for a DragonFly IV® system, the leading Additive Manufacturing Electronics (AME) 3D-printer. 

 

For reasons of national security, Nano Dimension says it cannot reveal the name of the country where the intelligence agency is situated. That said, this intelligence agency, and others like it, which include national armies, navies, air forces, and governmental secret services, rely on the DragonFly IV to advance innovation, Nano Dimension suggests. 

The DragonFly IV system and specialized materials serve High-Performance-Electronic-Devices (Hi-PEDs) fabrication needs by simultaneously depositing conductive and dielectric substances, while integrating in-situ capacitors, antennas, coils, transformers and electromechanical components. The outcomes are Hi-PEDs, which are enablers of autonomous intelligent drones, cars, satellites, smartphones and in vivo medical devices. In addition, these products enable iterative development, IP safety, fast time to market, and device performance gains. 

"I am very excited that another Western Intelligence Agency is investing in the design and production of 3D electronics, to shorten its development cycles and bring to life innovative ideas which could not have been done before,” comments Amit Dror, co-founder and chief customer success officer of Nano Dimension.

“Very importantly, this customer is buying the second machine of the Company, while the first one was Fabrica 2.0 machine," says Yoav Stern, chairman and chief executive officer of Nano Dimension. "3D printing technologies and materials are irreplaceable, and essential, both for electronics and micro-mechanical parts. Intelligence agencies are leading the forefront of technological innovation applied for high-performance applications, similar to aerospace, advanced medical fields, academy and corporate research departments.”
