The nRugged 3D Manufacturing System
The FIRST and ONLY precision 3D manufacturing/bioprinting platform for harsh environments.
using the nScrypt Inc. nRugged 3D manufacturing system, optimized for the ISS and featuring an advanced toolplate able to accommodate nine toolheads.The nRugged is the ruggedized version of nScrypt's direct digital manufacturing platform (Factory in a Tool (FiT)), factory-configured for either 3D manufacturing or bioprinting with automatic tool changes. For example, a complete electronic device or a bioactive bandage can be digitally manufactured in the same machine. The bioprinter configuration can print both biologics and non-biologics with a broad palette of materials. nRugged solves the problem of manufacturing of a precision product, not just a part, in harsh environments, like on a Navy ship in rough waters or on the back of a trailer.
