Nano Dimension's DragonFly 2020 3D Printer
Nano Dimension has announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Nano Dimension Technologies has supplied its DragonFly 2020 3D printer to Syqe Medical.
Syqe is the Tel Aviv-based developer of the world’s first selective-dose, pharmaceutical-grade medical cannabis inhaler. The Israeli company uses 3D printers to prototype and produce inhalers, which have been used in the nation’s Rambam Hospital for more than a year. Syqe Medical joins the growing ranks of Nano Dimension’s beta clients, and plans to use Nano Dimension’s technology to further develop its inhalers.
Nano Dimension’s beta program involves the delivery of the company’s DragonFly 2020 3D printers to leading companies and partners worldwide through a leasing model. Pioneering additive manufacturing technology and techniques for electronics and circuitry, these customers are active in a variety of industries, including defence, consumer goods, and medical devices, among others.
The DragonFly 2020 will be used to speed up product development cycles, and also allows users to strengthen their in-house innovation capabilities, while providing them with enhanced R&D IP security. In return, companies make payments on their leases and provide Nano Dimension with valuable feedback for further product development.
Nano Dimension’s flagship 3D printer has been well received since its launch. Last year, six of the machines were delivered to beta companies, including one of the ten largest bank holding companies in the US and PHYTEC, a leader in micropressors and supporting applications.
In January, Nano Dimension announced it had successfully 3D-printed electrical circuit boards with the first 3D printer capable to do so. The company believes the 3D printing of PCBs improves the reliability by maintaining the electronic components internally and keeping them from being exposed to the external environment. Founded in 2012, Nano Dimension has gone on to establish itself as a leader in advanced 3D-printed electronics systems and advanced additive manufacturing.
