DragonFly LDM System

The DragonFly LDM™ Lights-Out Digital Manufacturing system is the industry’s only comprehensive additive manufacturing platform for around-the-clock 3D printing of electronic circuitry. This precision additive manufacturing platform uniquely integrates an extremely precise inkjet deposition printer with dedicated nano-inks and optimized 3D software to print electronic circuits such as Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), antennas, capacitors and sensors. Incorporating proprietary, state-of-the-art Lights-out Digital Manufacturing (LDM) technology, the DragonFly™ requires little or no operator intervention.
With the DragonFly LDM™ designers can move rapidly from concept and design validation to production of precision electronic components, while keeping the entire process securely in-house. Companies can now reduce demand on prototyping and short-run manufacturing resources and lower the total cost of operation in comparison to traditional manufacturing methods. The DragonFly LDM™ is designed for industry 4.0 and manufacturing for the Internet of Things, and is the extension of the award-winning DragonFly Pro precision system.
KEY ADVANTAGES

TIME
Reduces development cycles times. Enables on-site prototyping in a matter of hours instead of weeks, even for complex designs.

24/7
Enables long, uninterrupted runs round the clock, with minimal supervision. This capability is designed to improve overall throughput of the system.

COMPLEX GEOMETRIES
Enables increased design capabilities & manufacturability of components. Added agility enables designing, testing and iterating in real time, on site.

CONFIDENTIALLY
Enables retention of sensitive IP in-house during development. Eliminates concerns and costs related to IP infringement.

COST
Eliminates need for large order minimums. Enables ability to discover design errors in early development stage with agile rapid prototyping.

AUTOMATION
Automatic printhead management mechanism and algorithms, allowing for uninterrupted printing with minimal print job set up and preventive maintenance.

COMPONENT CONSOLIDATION
Multi-material Additive Manufacturing enables functional, compact, denser, non-planar electronics parts.

ENVIRONMENTAL
Limits environmental impact through optimized design, size, weight. Reduces waste with additive manufacturing capabilities.
