Nano Dimension offers world’s first side mounted technology for additively manufactured PCBs
Industry News- Apr 02,19
The novel technology can print and solder components to the top, bottom and sides of the PCB
Nano Dimension Ltd, a leading additive electronics provider, has announced the world’s first side mounting technology for additively manufactured printed circuit boards (PCBs). With Nano Dimension’s DragonFly Precision Additive Manufacturing System, the novel technology can print and solder components to the top, bottom and sides of the PCB, resulting in as much as a 50 per cent increase in board space when compared with traditionally manufactured PCBs.
The extra space afforded through side mounting allows design engineers to pack more functionality on the circuit board, which is particularly relevant for IoT and Industry 4.0 where customised designs and shapes are a growing demand.
“For applications like the IoT where innovation is paramount, creating new electronic products in shapes and sizes that were never before possible is liberating for design engineers. Because of this added real estate, more functionality can be generated from sides of the board that can also be used to connect with additional boards,” said Amit Dror, CEO, Nano Dimension.
Another important enablement of side mounting is the ability to create a specialised PCB that plugs into a socket mounted on a mother board. By printing this board and inserting it into the cavity of a second board, users can rapidly customise applications based on a generic mother board.
Side mounting is ideal for applications such as modular antennae, creating non-standard packaging and innovative IoT applications. Future potential applications and benefits of Nano Dimension’s side mounting technology include printing a horizontal ground layer on the Z-axis, enabling the DragonFly Pro to produce higher performance antennae or multiple antennae with varying voltages within the board. This not only saves space but also creates limitless design possibilities.
