Current Carrying Capacity - NNDM - HQ180
This article presents the results obtained from measuring the current carrying capacity of Nano-Dimension printed samples using a measurement setup developed by our team using a custom made "recipe" . By detailing these findings, the article aims to provide foundational information for engineers interested in the basic thermal properties of Nano-Dimension's advanced printed materials.
The current carrying capacity is a crucial parameter in assessing the dimensions of PCB traces and ensuring the design meet the conditions of future application environments, particularly in high-precision applications such as RF electronics and advanced manufacturing. This article offers valuable insights into the thermal behavior of Nano-Dimension printed samples over a specified current range, contributing to the broader understanding and potential applications of these innovative materials.
As we continue to improve these setups and increase the availability of AME technology to the industry, we welcome any suggestions, criticisms, or comments in the comments section at the end of the article.

Custom Recipe - HQ180
The tested recipe primarily aims to evaluate the thermal effect on the final ampacity of the sample. The following changes were made to the HQ recipe:
- Tray temperature: increased from 160°C to 180°C
- IR intensity in the top oven: increased from 43% to 55%
The results are detailed in the next section.
