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.
Nano Dimension Ltd., a supplier of additively manufactured electronics and multi-dimensional polymer, metal and ceramic additive manufacturing 3D printers, has received a purchase order from a European army, for a DragonFly IV, an additive manufacturing electronics (AME) 3D printer.
This customer is the 10th western defense agency to become a user of Nano Dimension’s additive manufacturing systems. For reasons of national security, Nano Dimension cannot reveal the name of the country it is from. This defense agency, and others like it, which include national armies, navies, air forces and governmental intelligence agencies, rely on the DragonFly IV to advance innovation.
The DragonFly IV system and specialized materials serve cross-industry 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.
"I am very excited that another European army 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,” says Stephan Krause, vice president of EMEA Sales for Nano Dimension.
“Engaging this new customer is exciting for us. It proves, yet again, how irreplaceable and essential our 3D printing technologies and materials are," says Yoav Stern, chairman and chief executive officer of Nano Dimension. "After many years of experience with advanced technologies in the Air Force, I know that leading edge products which are adopted initially by defense forces, traditionally end up creating very large size commercial markets as well.”
