nano3Dprint presents the 3D printer MatDep Professional: technical specs and costs

The US 3D printer manufacturer nano3Dprint has launched its 3D multi-material and electronics printer MatDep Pro.

The MatDep Pro is aimed at a wide audience including engineers, entrepreneurs, technology leaders and advanced home designers. A limited quantity of 50 units is available to consumers through an application process. The 3D printer costs $8,800 and requires a refundable $500 deposit. According to Ramsey Stevens, CEO of nano3Dprint, MatDep Pro plays a critical role in reducing cross-contamination, a critical factor in preventing disruption in the conductor path. “The independent movement of the printheads prevents cross-contamination and provides better print quality, speed and reliability.”

MatDep Pro: Advanced 3D printing for functional electronics

The MatDep Pro, the largest nano3Dprint system measuring 360 x 250 x 200 mm (14.17 x 9.84 x 7.87 inches), enables the development of electronics with dynamic properties such as conductivity, magnetism or responsiveness. It also supports the development of devices with locally tailored composition, structure and properties. The versatility of this system extends to applying materials to various substrates and allows the creation of electrical connections and patterns with electrodes, wires or traces that are seamlessly integrated into Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) designs.

The MatDep Pro’s FDM extruder and material dispensing system provides a seamless method for integrating conductive and functional inks/pastes into a 3D design. This system allows users to print with plastics such as ABS and PLA using the extruder, incorporating advanced materials including highly conductive inks such as gold or silver, as well as versatile pastes such as silicone and polymers.

The extruder and material dispensing system work independently, improving the precision and accuracy of prints. The MatDep Pro has several key features such as: Such as an industrial linear guide that ensures stable and precise motion control, a flexible magnetic build mat for effortless print removal, and nozzle cleaning stations for both the FDM extruder and material dispensing system. In addition, the robust steel construction of the printer body increases structural stability, reduces vibration and enables more precise movement of the print head.

“A major advantage of 3D printing with functional materials is creating electronics that can adapt to different shapes and surfaces. This opens up new possibilities in, for example, wearable technology, smart textiles, biomedical devices or conformal supercapacitors. “Users can design and produce their own electronics on demand without the need for expensive and specialized equipment or facilities,” Stevens added.
