Optomec to Exhibit Latest Advances in 3D Printing of Metals and Electronics at TCT Show [Professional Services Close - Up](Professional Services Close - Up Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Optomec said the company will feature its latest printer systems for both structural and conductive materials at the TCT Show to be held on September 30 - October 2 at the NEC in Birmingham, England. In its release, the Company said that it will showcase its systems on Stand H23 at the event, which annually attracts 10,000 professionals involved in additive manufacturing. Optomec noted that it will demonstrate how its LENS 3D metal printing systems and Aerosol Jet family of printers enable a variety of applications with their production grade 3D printing technology, including multi-material, hybrid manufacturing and repair of metal components, as well as high volume production capability for consumer electronics including sensors and antennas. Among the highlights of the Optomec exhibition will be: The LENS Print Engine, a modularized version of the LENS 3D Printing system for metals which can be integrated with standard metal cutting machine tools to easily deploy additive manufacturing as part of existing production infrastructures. The LENS Print Engine offers modular components, including powder feeders, deposition heads, tool path generation software, and quality monitoring systems, as well as how these components can be integrated into an existing or new CNC machine tool. The recently announced Aerosol Jet 5X system for printing 3D electronics. The system delivers the precision and flexibility required to produce high resolution 3D printed electronics such as conformal antennas, sensors, and circuits used in consumer electronics, automotive, aerospace and medical applications. Equipped with an Optomec Sprint Print Module and a 5-axis coordinated motion platform, the Aerosol Jet 5X system is ideally suited for 3D printed micro-electronics development applications. Optomec is a privately-held supplier of Additive Manufacturing systems. Optomec patented Aerosol Jet Systems for printed electronics and LENS 3D Printers for metal components are used by industry to reduce product cost and improve performance.
