Neotech Announces Release of 3D Printed Electronics Platform
7/28/2014
German company Neotech AMT announced it planned to release commercially a production platform for sintering 3D printed electronics. This new machine, called LBS 45XE, uses light beam sintering to place neotech-logoAg inks onto polymer substrates. Managing director of Neotech, Dr. Martin Hedges, explained the new machine's benefit for their clients:
"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."
A case study performed by Neotech AMT's research and development team, using the newly released machine, demonstrated improvements in design flexibility, reductions in product thicknesses, and environmental benefits when printing cell phone antennas as compared to the traditional processes for their creation. The digital nature of the process made possible with this machine eliminates the need for hard tooling, special plastic resins, and plating processes.
This machine can carry out sintering processes on up to five axes of motion simultaneously. Each has its own individual light source that is tuned to the particular absorption wavelength of the printed media. That light beam allows for local heating and sintering to be focused on a very specific area, leaving the surrounding material unaffected. That centered area leaves a trace that is both conductive and has strong adhesive and cohesive strength.
Neotech has been involved in the development of systems for 3-D printed electronics since 2006. The company is located in Nuremberg, Germany and rose to stardom when they installed the world's first five axis 3D printed electronics system in 2010. The advent of that system allowed for the combination of hardware and software elements capable of producing complex circuitry on nearly all 3D services.
With the announcement of their latest technological contribution, they are advancing capabilities for 3D printing of electronics. There are other companies pioneering developments in electronics printing technologies, such as Optomec, developer of an aerosol jet printing process. Neotech is, in a sense, standing on the shoulders of giants by combining motion 3D toolpath generation software, Optomec's aerosol jet print engine, and a five-axis CNC motion platform.
This new technology is most likely one step on the pathway rather than endpoint itself. Just as Neotech has built upon their ability to understand potential connections among existing technological capabilities, it is only a matter of time before Neotech or someone else develops an integrated electronics printer capable of producing both the object and its electronics at the same time. It will certainly be interesting to watch as this technology furthers its uses within manufacturing.

The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner." AND ENTERS UPON HIS PARENTAL RELATIONS TO LITTLE PETE SKIDMORE. "Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
