Robotic actuators stand at the forefront of technological innovation, transforming energy into motion to breathe life into robots, enhancing their capabilities in an ever-evolving landscape of industrial automation.
A unique new approach of printing functional materials with unparallel precision and repeatability. Technology called Ultra-Precise Deposition (UPD) is a nanodispensing method capable to print high density and high viscous materials with the resolution down to 1 µm in feature size and with high ratio of width to height after single pass. For this method material extrusion is controlled by a pressure, which means it is not supported with high electric field. Thanks to this there are no limitation if the substrate is conductive or dielectric.
