Nano Dimension, a company seeking to drive the additive manufacturing of electronics, secured two new sales of its DragonFly 2020 Pro 3D Printer over the holiday season.
Marking the fourth and fifth purchases since the machine became commercially available at the back-end of 2017, Nano Dimension has confirmed a leading aerospace and defence supplier and a technology research institution have both sought to acquire the platform. Both organisations are based in Europe.
The deals were announced within 24 hours after each other, the aerospace and defence company on December 26th and the research institute on December 27th. Though both unnamed, Nano Dimension is excited to have secured the custom of both parties.
“We are thrilled to announce the sale of our ground-breaking commercial DragonFly 2020 Pro to a leading European aerospace and defence supplier. The printer was officially presented for the first time at IDtechEx and Productronica in November 2017 and this is the fourth printer sold since the commercial release,” said Amit Dror, CEO of Nano Dimension of the sale to the aerospace and defence player. “They are the perfect customer. Already working with additive manufacturing technologies for several years, and now, with the DragonFly 2020 Pro, they will be able to produce functional electronic circuit prototypes overnight, to enable true-part validation testing and explore new opportunities for product performance.”
The DragonFly 2020 Pro machine was announced last September after the successful Beta testing of its desktop version. Taking feedback, the company updated the machine to a floor-standing system, while maintaining the purpose of the original machine: to enable customers to develop printed electronic prototypes with greater freedom. So far, Nano Dimension’s first commercial release has attracted industry players and researchers alike, including PHYTEC who also became the first German reseller of the machines. The latest research centre to take the printer on, according to Dror, is set to explore a wide range of applications.
“We see a great potential to expand the use of 3D printing to developing fields such as autonomous vehicles, robotics and automation,” added Dror referring to the research institute’s purchase. “From rapid prototyping of functional circuits to testing and custom manufacturing, 3D printed electronics opens a whole new world of possibilities in design and engineering, and we’re honoured to be a part of this institute’s research to develop future autonomous systems for a wide range of industries. This is now the second DragonFly 2020 Pro going to a leading global technology research institution. This bears testimony to Nano Dimension’s belief that its advancing 3D printed electronics systems are an indispensable tool for cutting-edge research institutions looking into robotics, electrical components, sensors, arrays, antennas as well as other sophisticated circuitry and electronics.”
