On the heels of the launch of OCEAN, AZUL3D continues to advance its roadmap with the release of a small-scale 3D printing system called POND.
Based on the same proprietary HARP technology, POND is defined as a research-friendly tool that would enable rapid development of new materials and applications.
Featuring a liquid-liquid print interface that enables continuous printing and full thermal control, Azul 3D’s HARP technology powers its suite of systems and is now available in a cost- and material-efficient form factor for industry leaders looking to push the limits of 3D printing. Maintaining the full 72um high resolution and high-intensity light projection system of the rest of the Azul 3D portfolio, POND’s developed processes and materials are immediately scalable to production systems, the company explains.
Among the first users of this technology, one counts scientists at Sandia National Laboratory, who are utilizing the liquid-liquid interface to enable embedded electronics in printed components, presenting an opportunity for new levels of integration and miniaturization in consumer electronics and beyond.
“This has been a fun and exciting year at Azul 3D, Inc. We launched the largest DLP printer ever commercialized a couple of months ago, and today, we are launching our smallest printer. Sometimes to go big, you have to go small first. We find breakthroughs in production start with breakthroughs in materials. That is exactly what this printer enables – rapid development of new materials while parameters perfectly translate to our LAKE and OCEAN platforms when you move from development into production,” the company says during the launch.
