The model new community centered on the additive manufacturing of electronics has been established by Jetted Additively Manufactured Electronics Sources (J.A.M.E.S.), a three way partnership from Hensoldt and 3D printed electronics firm Nano Dimension.
“Our mission is to offer an area the place anybody throughout the globe can share tales and concepts about AME, alternate technical know-how and designs and revel in the advantages of real-time communication with AME lovers and professionals,” mentioned Andreas Muller, CEO, J.A.M.E.S. “AME allows new and visionary purposes in electronics that can not be realised with typical electronics manufacturing, and we attempt to allow members to discover new potentialities in 3D,” he added.
“Nonetheless, this rising expertise can solely be taken to a subsequent technical readiness stage if we’re in a position to mix completely different processes, supplies and design strategies,” mentioned Andreas Salomon, CTO of J.A.M.E.S. “That is precisely what J.A.M.E.S. is ideally suited to: empowering members of the J.A.M.E.S. Neighborhood to realize expertise with inkjet, micro-dispensing, ceramic printing, aerosol printing and all different processes presently in the marketplace. Merging applied sciences is the way forward for AME with an enormous potential to fully change the normal approach electronics are manufactured.”
The worldwide community, known as FrAMEwork, strives to be a collaborative area that may convey collectively designers of Additively Manufactured Electronics (AME) to offer the required technical know-how, design enablement and challenges.
AME is predicted to beat the challenges of the historically subtractive PCB manufacturing course of and profit from the emergence of latest supplies equivalent to purposeful inks. J.A.M.E.S. has been working with Nano Dimension’s DragonFly 3D printer which might concurrently deposit a dielectric ink and a extremely conductive silver nano ink to provide electronics parts. The J.A.M.E.S. group has efficiently delivered totally electrified 3D constructions and launched into a mission to mix numerous digital parts right into a single 3D printed drone body together with a flight controller, 4 motor controllers and 4 motors. J.A.M.E.S. is now establishing the primary complete on-line neighborhood of 3D printed electronics, with a cloud-based platform solely devoted to AME.
