The MTC is equipped with a complete, conveyorised surface mount line. This allows investigation into the full implications of any process change for product quality, delivery time and without jeopardising production capability within industry. Key opportunity to explore in Space is “outgassing” – how to evaluate PCB materials to determine its outgassing characteristics.
In July 2019 the MTC became the first R&D facility in the UK to purchase Nano Dimension’s DragonFly precision additive manufacturing system for electronics. MTC will use the cutting-edge system to additively build electronic components, such as multi-layer PCBs, antennas and sensors.
The DragonFly printing technology is the industry’s only comprehensive additive manufacturing platform for 3D printing of electronic circuitry. The groundbreaking system, is designed for Industry 4.0 and manufacturing for the Internet of Things.
MTC will use the DragonFly additive manufacturing system for advanced applications development, including production of devices requiring increasingly complex features, high geometrical intricacies and very small dimensions, for smart connected devices and a variety of advanced applications.
