Everything you need to know about various types of automation and their role in modern manufacturing systems.
A unique new approach of printing functional materials with unparallel precision and repeatability. Technology called Ultra-Precise Deposition (UPD) is a nanodispensing method capable to print high density and high viscous materials with the resolution down to 1 µm in feature size and with high ratio of width to height after single pass. For this method material extrusion is controlled by a pressure, which means it is not supported with high electric field. Thanks to this there are no limitation if the substrate is conductive or dielectric.

Cost of production has been a major barrier despite the fact that Cu raw material prices are far lower than Ag. This is because this large raw material cost difference does not often get translated into equally large nanoparticle dispersion or ink costs. Can this be overcome?
Caracol has introduced thermal monitoring and Infrared (IR) cameras on our #LFAM technology, to deliver zero-defect production and the best properties on final printed parts.
Painting is a great way to take your PLA 3D prints to the next level. Here’s what it takes to prepare your prints for painting and a guide to different painting techniques for 3D printed parts.
