机甲introduces new nano-tube-based high-temperature 3D printing material

Arizona-based 3D printing start-up机甲与陶瓷添加剂制造材料提供商合作创建了一种新型的高温,刚性静电放电(ESD)材料雷电竞充值Tethon3d

The 3D printable resin was created to address the challenge of creating custom nano-uniform ESD parts which can endure multiple cycles of a high-temperature wave soldering process (245°C) employing Mechnano’s proprietary carbon nanotube technology (CNT); MechT, which helps dissipate static.

When manufactured, the CNTs get clumped together into balls of millions or billions of tubes. When added to materials, these clumps are inefficient and unable to harness the benefits of nano-materials. Separating CNTs is tricky, as they re-clump, i.e., agglomerate, once added to a material. After over a decade of research and development, Mechnano claims its proprietary technology detangles and isolates CNTs into discrete tubes. The resulting CNTs are capable of delivering previously untapped properties. Mechnano accomplishes this by introducing molecules into the sidewalls that enhance material properties and molecules into the tubes that add properties.

The new resin, C-Lite, can be 3D printed with a wide range of vat photopolymerization systems, including LCD, DLP, and SLA, enabling ‘quick-turn’ part fabrication with ‘ultra-high accuracy’. Dane Yoner, Trilogy Director of Business Development, explained that Mechnano-enhanced materials like C-Lite for reflow fixtures and other tooling will help the firm reduce its cycle times. “Our customers will experience ultra-quick turn products and we can increase our market share,” added Yoner.

The motivation behind launching this new material

Testing of C-Lite has been conducted on several applications, including a custom carrier. Electronics manufacturing company三部曲网通过标准反流烤箱和蒸气相运行组件,在单个循环中没有报告尺寸或平坦度的变化。Mechnano声称,三部曲网络验证了该组件经过50次翻新烤箱后缺乏收缩,破裂,软化或扭曲。

Mechnano声称,增材制造业将使电子行雷电竞充值业能够更快地对客户查询做出响应,例如制造ESD零件以协助回流过程。消费者经常要求定制的载体/托盘在整个反流过程中保留印刷的接线组合物,因此公司强调了敏捷性对于特定于客户的应用的重要性,这些应用需要一系列非标准零件来进行小型生产运行。

According to Mechnano, manufacturing such parts using conventional manufacturing techniques might slow down production and raise costs because the conventional materials loaded with carbon fiber in the parts “do not preserve today’s electronics”.

树脂3D打印对增材制造业的影响雷电竞充值

以前是玻璃,电子,化学品和陶瓷制造商AGC Inc。创建了一个生物相容性non-cytotoxic聚氨酯crylate oligomer that can be 3D printed into ultra-realistic patient-specific organ models. AGC Inc. created a material with a low storage modulus without the need for plasticizers including its new oligomer. As a result, ‘U-FINE LD-301’ can serve as the foundation for non-cytotoxic stereolithography (SLA) or Digital Light Processing (DLP)3D printing resinswhich are less prone to dimensional bleeding or instability. In practice, the company anticipates that the medical community will implement its flexible new material as a method of 3D printing extremely lifelike, patient-specific anatomical models with broad clinical training applications.

Elsewhere, US-based ultrafast polymer 3D printing solutions providerNexa3Dreleased an ESD-saferesin用于使用Mechnano的Mecht技术制造静态组件。据该公司称,Mechnano的技术得到了十多年的开发和研究的帮助,以及120多个已发行和待处理的专利。新型的Nexa3d Xesd提供了基本的静态性能以及在电子制造业至关重要的各向同性机械特性。根据NEXA3D的说法,在管理生产地板上管理关键电气零件时,也可以使用该材料。

According to Nexa3D, the xESD meets the demand for rapid manufacturing and prototyping by allowing users to rapidly develop different fixtures, grippers, assembly aids, and enclosures without fear of ESD damaging expensive electrical parts. Carbon nanotubes that have been detangled and separated can be spread throughout an additive manufacturing material without re-clumping using MechT technology. Aside from ESD, the produced separate tubes can be created to fit specific performance needs and offer previously unattainable performance, such as a 50% rise in tensile strength, a 200% rise in toughness, and an 850% rise in tear resistance.
