Sygnis F-NIS 23151

Sygnis’ original Direct Ink Writing 3D printer – F-NIS 23151 – is a gateway machine for everyone conducting material research and those working with flexible electronics and robotics.

Precision pneumatic extrusion system and intuitive design make F-NIS an ideal solution for researchers and scientists. It allows them to work on their terms with i.e. pastes, gels and resins. Sygnis’ DIW 3D printer is a simple and reliable tool, helpful in the initial stages of proof-of-concept or as a versatile base for prototyping proprietary 3D printing materials.

Silicone prints

Ceramic prints

The F-NIS 23151 3D printer is currently used at the Faculty of Engineering Department of Materials Science and Ceramics at the S. Staszic AGH University of Science and Technology in Krakow to prepare 3D structures made of composite ceramic materials. The two main research directions involve obtaining scaffolds based on silica and alumina with potential applications in various catalytic processes. We have also undertaken tests to obtain direct 3D prints from commercial silicones. In all of these applications, the F-NIS 3D printer has performed so far fully in line with our expectations.

For me, F-NIS 23151 is Sygnis' take on the difficult and narrow topic of 3D printing with pastes, viscous liquids, and ceramics with an effect that generates progress and gives an important contribution to the development of additive technologies.

The use of a new printer, which combines the simplicity of construction with almost unlimited possibilities of work with photo-cured bioinks, opens up a new chapter in the testing of materials which we create by us. The construction system of this device does not limit but gives the possibility to create new variations in terms of materials. The printer has been used for experimental work using new photoinitiating systems, new photo-cured gels, and new photo-cured nano-composites tested for biomedical applications.

The device is offered in 3 different specifications - A, B and C.

F-NIS will find its use in chemistry and materials laboratories, among research groups working on new materials, flexible robots, flexible electronics, ceramic insulators, UV-curable materials, silicones, conductive pastes and research on new kinds of batteries.

As a universal Direct Ink Writing 3D printer, F-NIS fits perfectly with the needs of universities, laboratories and research groups in various areas of science.

Sygnis SA is a hardware deeptech company specializing in R&D projects in four main segments of activities: new additive technologies, power engineering, biotechnology and nanotechnology. We believe that knowledge has layers™.
