nano3Dprint has announced the launch of its innovative Conductive Silver Ink Products, developed in partnership with Creative Materials. These advanced inks are specifically designed for use with nano3Dprint’s A2200, B3300, and MatDep Pro 3D printers, with the goal of significantly advancing the direct-write printed electronics industry. The inks offer key features such as high conductivity, precision printing, and versatility, making them ideal for a wide range of applications.
Key Features and Technology
The Conductive Silver Ink, identified as DW100-24, is a waterborne, low VOC, electrically conductive ink that can be applied through direct write 3D printing using nano3Dprint’s multi-material 3D printers. This ink can either air-dry at room temperature or be heat-cured at temperatures ranging from 100°C to 175°C to achieve maximum conductivity. DW100-24 adheres to a variety of surfaces including Kapton, Mylar, glass, PLA, and ABS, and is highly resistant to flexing and creasing, making it more durable than conventional conductive materials.
The silver ink formulations boast exceptional electrical conductivity, which is crucial for applications such as flexible circuits and sensors. The precision printing capabilities of nano3Dprint’s technology allow for the accurate deposition of these inks, enabling engineers and designers to create intricate patterns with ease. Additionally, the versatility of DW100-24 ensures uniform adhesion across both rigid and flexible substrates, facilitating seamless integration into a variety of electronic devices.
Applications and Environmental Impact
nano3Dprint’s Conductive Silver Ink Products are ideal for fabricating printed circuit boards (PCBs), antennas, and touch sensors. They also support the development of wearable technology by allowing designers to incorporate conductive traces directly onto flexible substrates and fabrics, paving the way for new innovations in wearable devices. These inks are well-suited for creating smart sensors, RFID tags, and other IoT components, as well as for embedded electronics in medical devices, such as next-generation orthopedics and sensor-integrated equipment.
Environmental sustainability is also a priority for nano3Dprint. The production process minimizes waste, and the inks themselves are environmentally friendly, aligning with the company’s commitment to responsible manufacturing.
