Voxel8 is launching the electronics 3D printer this week at CES 2015 and its a game-changing machine. The Voxel8 is made to let users design and fabricate devices which include 3D printed electromagnetic coils, antennas and a wide variety of other control mechanisms. The printer works like this: when a circuit is placed into an object, a second nozzle comes into play which is filled with the highly conductive silver ink. Its five-thousand times more conductive than the conductive pastes and filaments currently on the market, and then, as the circuit printing is complete, the printer outputs thermoplastics through another nozzle to finish the object. If a chip or additional electronic component – like a sensor or LED – is needed, the printer stops printing, allowing a user to remove the build tray. The component can be located within the object, the build tray can be replaced and the print job resumes.
