| Optomec, an additive manufacturing company in the U.S., introduced the Aerosol Jet HD system 3D printer, which is capable of 3D printing high-density electronic components with features down to 20 microns. This new professional 3D printer is based on Optomec's patented Aerosol Jet, a fine material deposition solution for printing functional electronic circuits and components on low temperature non-planar substrates. Mode, shadow or post-processing.  The 3D printer incorporates online automation technology to handle a wide range of substrate sizes and combinations for high-resolution printed electronics applications including 3D interconnect, RF / EMI shielding and precision micro-dispensing of insulators and adhesives. This may sound like a multi-purpose machine, Optomec said its 3D printers can be incorporated into 'almost any' existing manufacturing environment to fill production gaps while its toolpath generation software can be integrated into a standard distribution automation Platform.In addition, the 3D printer is also equipped with 'Production Preparation Formulas' for a variety of conductive, dielectric, adhesives and other materials. Domelahihi, chief executive of Optomec, said: "The demand for miniaturization of electronic systems, especially in the mobile, medical and military applications, has revealed the drawbacks of advanced electronics packaging that current distribution solutions can not solve."
