Optomec Showcases Production Systems for 3D Printed Electronics and 3D Printed Metals at the RAPID + TCT Conference

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Optomec, a leading global supplier of production grade additive
manufacturing solutions, announced today that the company will
showcase its industry proven Aerosol Jet Systems for Printed
Electronics and LENS systems for 3D printed metals at the RAPID + TCT
Conference this week. Highlighting its exhibition will be live
demonstrations of the five axis Aerosol Jet 5x system for printed
electronics, and video presentations of the industry-first and only
atmosphere controlled LENS Hybrid System for additive and subtractive
processing of metals, including titanium and aluminum. In addition,
Optomec will display sample parts demonstrating conformal sensors,
antenna and 3D interconnects for semiconductor packaging, as well as
LENS produced metal parts, including a rocket jet nozzle which was built
10x faster than the build rate of powder bed fusion. Optomec will be
located in booth 1718.

Optomec LENS systems are the leading powder fed Directed Energy
Deposition (DED) printers on the market, recently reaching 100
installations in 15 countries. The new LENS 3D Machine Tool Series (MTS)
enables 3D metal printing at roughly 1/3 the price of Powder Bed Fusion
(PBF) systems, in terms of both equipment and powder cost. LENS DED
systems are also 10x faster than PBF, and have the further benefit of
enabling high ROI applications such as Repair and Wear Coatings.

In addition to the exhibition, Mr. Bryan Germann, Optomec Aerosol Jet
Product Manager, will deliver a presentation at the conference titled
“Functionalizing Structures via Aerosol Jet 3D Printed Electronics” in
the RAPID Innovation Summit at 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 25. Mr.
Germann will discuss how structural electronics is emerging as a new way
of adding intelligence into products such as automobiles, turbine
engines, medical devices and building infrastructure. These functions
can be used to sense, report on, and take or recommend corrective
actions when products are deviating from their specifications. Optomec
Aerosol Jet printers deliver the unique ability to print electronic and
other materials onto any type of 2D and 3D structure, in dimensions
ranging from 10 microns up to centimeters in scale. Aerosol Jet 3D
printed electronics solutions have been deployed to add intelligence to
products enabling continuous monitoring and feedback.

RAPID + TCT is an additive manufacturing event that showcases product
innovations and offers collaborative learning opportunities to
ultimately accelerate the adoption and advancement of the technology.
