Exploring Electronics 3D Design and Printing
The design process of 3D printed electronics encompasses several stages, leveraging the integration of 3D digital designs, specialized 3D printing software and advanced additive manufacturing techniques. With the ability to print conductive and insulating structures from conductive and non-conductive material in the form of inks have expanded 3D printing to electrical applications.
Empowering Design Freedom
3D printing of complete electronic components offers greater design freedom as well as faster development times, enabling significantly more compact and cost-effective devices. Designing for 3D printing involves strategically integrating electronic component of circuits such as conductive connections, coils, capacitors, or antennas seamlessly within the design to ensure proper functionality and connectivity.
Streamlined 3d Design Process
Our engineering team harness the power of specialized 3D printing software to design and bring additively manufactured electronics to life. At J.A.M.E.S, we use Dassault Systèmes’s CST Studio Suite for the design. This software supports 3D designs and is compatible with common ECAD standard formats, offering as well the possibility of simulation. For the mechanical design, the 3D CAD solution SOLIDWORKS is used.
Once the design is simulated and validated, the STL (stereolithogrpahy) files, which encapsulate the geometry of the design model for 3D printing, are prepared. These files are transferred to the 3D printer, which uses additive manufacturing techniques.
