3D printer head SMARTPUMP™

The SmartPump™ is a foundation of nScrypt microdispensing on the 3Dn Factory in a Tool, nRugged, BAT, SVA, and 3Dx 700 platforms. This digitally controlled positive-pressure pump's patented valving and nTip™ pentip (as small as 10μm) enable near-perfect starts and stops (no drooling) of materials with extreme viscosities, ranging from 1cP nanoparticle inks to well over 1 million cP flake-loaded pastes. The SmartPump™ can dispense more than 10,000 commercially available materials with volume control to 100 picoliters. No other microdispensing pump matches the SmartPump™ in material range, volume control, or dimensional size of prints. The SmartPump™ is a proven, rugged Microdispensing pump that has demonstrated printed lines as small as 20μm wide and dots as small as 50μm (material dependent). A heated version is available.
