Thursday, July 24, 2014: Nuremberg-based Neotech AMT is all set to come up with a new commercial production platform meant for sintering 3D printed electronics. Neotech, known for providing systems for 3-D printed electronics since 2006 is calling this platform LBS 45XE. The platform makes use of light beam sintering mechanism to place Neotech-logoAg inks onto a polymer substrate: something that goes on to reveal its growing capabilities in the 3D printed electronics domain.
“This platform will assist customers to develop novel 3D printed electronics structures on low temperature substrates. The initial target markets are printed antenna for mobile phones and heater patterns for the automotive industry. The LBS 45XE has been designed for mass production with low operating costs. The system will be a very useful complement to our current range of five axis printing platforms to advanced 3-D print electronics.” Managing director, Neotech, Dr Martin Hedges was quoted as saying by 3dprint.com.
The newly designed platform has demonstrated dramatic improvements in terms of design flexibility and reduction in product thickness. It can carry out sintering processes on up to five axes of motion at the same time.
