Israeli company Nano Dimension Ltd has said it had created the first fully functional, 3D printed communication device, at a faster speed than has ever been achieved to date with traditionally made devices.
It said in a press release that this first ever additively manufactured (3D printed) IoT device enables companies and research institutions to create and test their ‘smart’ products and other prototypes “faster and more easily than ever before.”
Nano Dimension revealed it completed the print, assembly and testing of the prototype IoT transceiver device in approximately 18 hours, which was about 90 per cent faster than traditional (non 3D printed) devices which typically took approximately 14 days or more. The device was additively manufactured using Nano Dimension’s award winning DragonFly Pro 3D Printer – the only precision additive manufacturing system of its type worldwide.

The remote-control type IoT device, smaller than a silver dollar coin (16 x 33 x 1.6mm), is currently in its qualification phase and Nano Dimensions’ experts anticipate that it can easily and efficiently be developed into a two-way communication device (transmitter and receiver) such as a router.
