Optomec Showcases Aerosol Jet 3D Printing Systems at LOPEC Printed Electronics Conference

Optomec, a leading global supplier of production grade additive
manufacturing systems for 3D printed electronics announced today that
the company will showcase its Aerosol Jet systems for 3D
production-grade printed electronics at the LOPEC Exhibition and
conference, held this week at the Messe München in Germany. Optomec will
be in booth # B0-508. In addition to the exhibition, Mr. Kyle Homan,
Aerosol Jet Applications Engineer, will deliver a presentation titled
“Aerosol Jet Printing of Film Heaters in 3D” in the Smart and Hybrid
systems track.

In his presentation, Mr. Homan will present results of Aerosol Jet
printed heaters on structural metals, including stainless steel and
aluminum. He will discuss how printing heater circuits directly on to
non-planar surfaces is expected to cost up to 75% less than traditional
heater attachment via flex or drawn circuits applied to parts. The
attachment of Flex or drawn wire bent into the appropriate shape or
shapes is a very manually intensive and costly process. Mr. Homan will
explain how through direct printing of conformal heaters, the object’s
temperature uniformity and heat zone control is improved, while
eliminating manual assembly and adhesive layers. For more information on
