Circuit designer for 3-D printers

This is browser based tool that was designed in order to print circuits in 3-D. It enables CAD designs to be sliced where specific layers can be selected and holes/traces can be drawn by hand. We provide designing tools, scheduling software and hardware to enable conductive trace extrusions, pick and place components and 3-D printing combined.

This page describes details about the 3-D designer and correlated scheduling software that is used for this kind of application. The video demonstrates how the design software used:

The scheduler software that runs the 3-D printer has been adapted to work with 3 different types of nozzles:

    1. Pick and Place vacuum nozzle
    2. Conductive paste extruder (heatable)
    3. 3-D printer extruder
