Azul 3D Releases POND, a Material and Application Development System for the HARP™ 3D Printing Technology
CHICAGO, IL. --- On the heels of launching OCEAN — the world’s largest and most productive area-wide 3D printing solution — Azul 3D(TM) has released a small-scale 3D printing system, the POND, designed to enable faster material and application development on their proprietary HARP technology.
Available to select partners, POND is a research-friendly tool built to accelerate the identification, validation, and commercialization of these disruptive applications opportunities.
Featuring a liquid-liquid print interface that enables continuous printing and full thermal control, Azul 3D’s HARP technology powers its suite of systems and is now available in a cost- and material-efficient form factor for industry leaders looking to push the limits of 3D printing.
Maintaining the full 72um high resolution and high-intensity light projection system of the rest of the Azul 3D portfolio, POND’s developed processes and materials are immediately scalable to production systems.
Azul 3D is committed to leading the next generation of industry transformations enabled by digital manufacturing and 3D printing. With PONDs already installed in the field, researchers are developing new-to-industry capabilities. This includes scientists at Sandia National Laboratory, who are utilizing the liquid-liquid interface to enable embedded electronics in printed components, presenting an opportunity for new levels of integration and miniaturization in consumer electronics and beyond.
Azul 3D’s suite of printing platforms — OCEAN, LAKE, and POND — all harness the modular HARP technology to pave the way for next-generation digital manufacturing. Working hand-in-hand with customers and partners to deliver full manufacturing solutions for specific applications, Azul 3D leverages the portfolio to commercialize large-volume production applications in industries with the toughest requirements.
