The EX¹ printer is not designed to create any 3D object like normal 3D printers. It’s been crafted and designed for one key purpose, to allow users to 3D print circuit boards, layering silver nano particles onto paper or any suitable surface to rapidly create a circuit board. In 2011, an article in Wired said that within two years 3D printers could print electronic circuits. Two years to the day, the Cartesian company has announced the EX¹, a printer that allows one to rapidly 3D print circuit boards. Cartesian Co is now launched on Kickstarter aiming to raise $30,000 in 30 days for the development of the EX¹ printer. Only five ‘super early bird’ kits were available at $899, but they are all gone. And 20 ‘early bird’ kits are offered at a special price $1,199 with an estimated delivery around July 2014.
The process is as easy as clicking File & Print. This lets you create electronics, just as you’ve envisioned – wearable electronics, paper circuits, printed computers or whatever you imagine. A 3D printer creates the objects of your imagination; the EX¹ lets you create the electronics of your imagination.
The ability to print flexible circuits on such a variety of different surfaces means that people can be more creative and experimental with electronics than ever before,” writes the team. It lets you create wearable electronics, paper circuits, printed computers or whatever you would like to have. Meanwhile the team is developing new ink formulations and processes, as well as new ways of treating and coating materials to ensure more possibilities for EX¹ printer.
