Microfabrication start-up Horizon Microtechnologies has launched a new microscale 3D printing technology at the Formnext tradeshow.
The firm’s template-based micro-additive manufacturing or ‘micro-AM’ process enables the creation of conductive parts with micrometer-level precision. Having brought its technology to market, the firm says it could now help bring greater manufacturing versatility to the production of electrodes, electrical contact pins, ESD-safe parts, microfluidic devices, MEMS, and optics packaging for the first time.
“Template-based 3D microfabrication is effectively a mechanism to exploit the usefulness of polymer micro-AM produced 3D microstructures (the template) for hitherto unserved areas of industry. This is a real game-changer,” explains…
