The Connex3 3D printer is capable of patterning multiple polymer materials simultaneously. The system supports a very wide range of thermoplastics, photopolymers, elastomers, and functional polymers that can be combined concurrently in a single fabrication run to create “digital materials”, and integrate these materials into complex 3D structures with particular relevance to robotics and microsystems applications. Because the different classes of polymer can be deposited and patterned in a single workflow, exceptionally complicated and multifunctional elements can be realized that would be impossible to achieve using traditional manufacturing methods. The tool offers a large build envelope of 50x40x20cm with a maximum resolution of 16 µm.

For sanding curved surfaces and edges. Good for sanding curves cut on a bandsaw to a smoother finish.

Good for cutting wood. Can cut angles up to 45 degrees. Should not be used for cutting cylinders.

Good for sanding down materials to make a smooth edge. The flat edge is best for smoothing edges while the disk is great for leveling surfaces.

Good for through holes. Variety of hole saw bits for cutting larger holes.

Good for cutting through parts. Does not cut perfectly straight and will require additional smoothing to make parts more accurate.

Good for cutting pieces of wood that are too long to easily fit on a miter saw brace. Pieces can be cut to exact dimensions.

The nScrypt system enables high resolution multilayer deposition of nanoparticle inks and slurries supporting the fabrication of advanced 3D structures, including ceramics. The tools can handle materials ranging from low viscosity inks to high viscosity pastes (from 1 to over 1,000,000 cP). The later unique capability is critical for fabrication of near net-shape ceramic structures. With picoliter volume control, the direct-write machine can deposit materials with feature sizes below 10 µm while large area (45x45 cm) patterns can be rastered at speeds up to 50 cm/s, with x, y, and z motion resolution on the order of 0.1 µm. Layer-by- layer 2D and 3D deposition can be performed on flat surfaces as well as conformally over rough or 3D surfaces for the realization of integrated fuel cells, solid-state batteries, solar cells, micro-power systems, energetic material systems, electronic components, bioactive systems that integrate biomacromolecules and live cells, scaffolds for tissue engineering, and beyond. In addition, when combined with the ProX 200 and Connex 500 tools, the nScript system will enable heterogeneous fabrication using multiple passive or active functional materials.
