Nano Dimension presented a new resin material for DLP 3D printing at Formnext 2024. Launched under the name Ataru, this material is designed to meet demanding technical requirements. According to the company, Ataru is able to withstand high temperatures and also demonstrates robust mechanical resistance. This makes it suitable for applications involving high heat loads and mechanical stresses. According to the manufacturer, the resin is also characterized by low dielectric losses, which can be an advantage in radio frequency-based applications.
Ataru has been specially developed for DLP processes. This additive manufacturing technology uses projection-based light to cure liquid photopolymer layer by layer. The combination of a precise light source, high-quality projectors and coordinated resins such as Ataru can enable particularly filigree structures. The material should allow engineers to economically produce components with complex internal structures, integrated channels or customized surface properties. Nano Dimension is therefore primarily aimed at sectors such as electronics, aviation and automotive engineering, where high material and process quality is required.
According to official information, Nano Dimension has worked intensively on material science and process development in the run-up to bringing resins such as Ataru to market maturity. Yoav Stern, CEO of Nano Dimension, emphasized in this context that materials research plays a crucial role in accelerating the introduction of additive manufacturing. According to Stern, this expertise in the field of materials could open up new areas of application and promote the long-term spread of 3D printing in industrial applications.
