The single-piece ceramic web-capsule was developed and additively manufactured with Lithoz's Lithography-based Ceramic Manufacturing (LCM) technology by Steinbach AG in partnership with HiFiction AG.
Both companies were acquired amid Nano Dimension’s spree of acquisitions as it bid to become ‘a leader in additive manufacturing’ but were shut down in early May as the company outlined plans to streamline its portfolio.
Researchers will use the machine to support the advanced engineering of hierarchical structures with sensory capabilities for use in biological and engineering applications as part of the MEBioSys project.
The company believes it to be its latest organisational milestone and underlines its ‘focused commitment’ on meeting the stringent requirements of patient safety, precision and regulatory compliance within the healthcare industries.
This strategic acquisition, Tethon says, will enhance its manufacturing capabilities, expand its resin portfolio, and increase its global market share.
The machines are geared towards complex applications in creative sectors such as “interior decoration, architecture, fine art, and arts and crafts industries, as well as educational and research institutions in history and culture.”
The partnership will focus on developing next-generation material and hardware combinations that are 'optimised for strength, accuracy, sustainability, and efficiency.'
