IIT Prints 3D Embedded Sensors in Electrical Packaging for Next Generation MEMS Devices Using Nano Dimension’s DragonFly Sy...
September 26 2019 - 2:30AM
Nano Dimension Ltd., a leading additive
electronics provider for electronics (NASDAQ, TASE: NNDM),
announced today that one of its customers, the Center for
Biomolecular Nanotechnologies (CBN) of the Istituto Italiano di
Tecnologia (IIT), is using the DragonFly additive manufacturing
system to 3D print embedded sensors in electrical packaging.
IIT is a leading research institute in Italy
with the mission of promoting technological development and higher
education in science and technology. IIT plans to use the
electrical packaging for rapid device and microsystem prototyping
of next generation micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) and
wearable transducers for information and communication technology
(ICT) and biomedical applications.
IIT researchers will utilize their expertise in
MEMS to develop reliable real time monitoring and energy harvesters
for long battery life or battery-free operation of devices.
“One of the main breakthroughs achieved by the
researchers was the procedure of embedding the sensors into the
interior layers of the packaging, typically a complex, multi-stage
process,” said Amit Dror, CEO of Nano Dimension. “3D printing
embedded sensors within electrical packaging avoids injection
molding processes, reduces the need for human touch in assembly
steps compared to traditional methods and eliminates wires,
soldering and connectors. Placing the sensors into the interior
layers of the package can also free up space, to make the structure
smaller, lighter and less expensive to produce.”
Embedding the sensors was achieved by exploiting
the DragonFly’s extremely precise multi-material inkjet deposition
system that allows for simultaneous 3D printing of conductive
silver nanoparticle ink (metal) and insulating ink (dielectric) via
a layer-by-layer fabrication process. Printing was paused in order
to place the sensor on pre-printed recesses and continued to
complete the job and seal the sensor.
“The suitability of the DragonFly system to
rapidly and affordably manufacture functional prototypes, combined
with the broad ecosystem of applications for health and energy
harvesting, makes it an ideal choice for our team to achieve higher
performance, quick development and print complex shapes not
achievable using traditional manufacturing processes,” said Prof.
Massimo De Vittorio (CBN-IIT – Lecce - Italy).
The purchase of the DragonFly by IIT was
facilitated by Cadlog Group, Nano Dimension’s value-added reseller
in Italy, whose mission is to bring additive manufacturing
solutions to the electronic industry.
The IIT workforce is composed of about 1,700
people from over 60 countries, working together to conduct
cutting-edge research in multi-disciplinary areas such as robotics,
nanobiotechnology, industry, computational science and
medicine. The research at the IIT CBN in Lecce is focused on
the development of micro and nanotechnologies for the human body
and for the environment, by studying and exploiting nanomaterials
and biomaterials, and their interactions on a nanoscale.

The DragonFly LDM printing technology is the
industry’s only comprehensive additive manufacturing platform for
round-the-clock 3D printing of electronic circuitry. The
groundbreaking system, introduced by Nano Dimension on July 2019,
is designed for Industry 4.0 and manufacturing for the Internet of
Things. The DragonFly LDM is the extension of the successful
DragonFly Pro precision system for printing electronic components,
including multilayer printed circuit boards (PCBs), capacitors,
coils, sensors, antennas and more.
