Inkjet 3D printing startup Quantica has taken a step towards expanding its footprint in the additive manufacturing (AM) sector by introducing the NovoJet OPEN 3D printer. The release of the new system is being accompanied by the initiation of a beta program involving partnerships with notable institutions, including Fraunhofer IPA and REHAU Industries. The company showcased the new system at the Formnext trade show in Frankfurt. The NovoJet OPEN, the latest addition to Quantica’s product line, represents an evolution of its proprietary printhead technology, offering the ability to handle ultra-high viscosity materials (up to 380 mPas) that surpass current industry standards. Whereas the previous iteration of the system, the NovoJet C-7, was just a prototype, the NovoJet OPEN represents the fully commercial product. Quantica is positioning the NovoJet OPEN as a versatile platform that aims to enable the printing of a diverse range of materials, which could potentially include high-toughness, temperature-resistant, and flexible materials with conductive properties.
