every electronic device he used today relies on one of these it is a printed circuit board now know what you're thinking it's just a circuit board but this one is different it's actually been 3d printed on this machine by nano dimensions it's called the dragonfly now 3d printing a circuit board gives you a couple of different advantages over the traditional method of sending it out to a manufacturing plants the first one is that your intellectual property can stay safe and be produced in-house the second is the time it takes rather than a couple of weeks to get a prototype of the circle's brought back for testing this takes a couple of hours or even overnight so it's pretty rapid indeed now the tech inside this particular 3d printer is a little different - and any sort of other 3d printer on the market because of the inks it uses there is a nano silver conductive ink that's used to print on the boards as well as a proprietary dielectric ink that's used to make the board's size ranges between 7 by 7 inches as the maximum you can even print down to as small as 2 by 2 millimeters now because this machine is so large and bulky it is not for the maker community it is not for you and I it is for engineers and companies looking to quickly and rapidly test circuit board designs and for that reason it's not going to be available on the market until the end of 2016 the pricing is yet to be disclosed but if you're in engineering or developing some products and you need a rapid prototyping solution for circuit boards this could really change the game
