Boston Micro Fabrication: Dielectric Radix resin certified

Boston Micro Fabrication (BMF) certifies the dielectric Radix resin from Rogers for its 3D printers on the Microarch platform. According to BMF, their 3D printers achieve the highest precision and resolution in creating complex, high-resolution microstructures. They are used, for example, in microelectronics, medical technology, or in connectors.

The printable resin Radix from Rodgers expands these capabilities to components with dielectric properties. Dielectric material hardly conducts electricity but can maintain an electrostatic field well. It stores electrical charge and has a high specific resistance with a negative temperature coefficient. These properties are crucial for many applications such as high-frequency systems, antenna systems, backhaul radios, and communication systems.

Radix resin was developed with the primary goal of exceptional dielectric properties. Equally important was maintaining high precision and resolution for demanding applications in micro 3D printing. Now, the material can be used for a variety of high-end applications where conventional manufacturing methods fail. Radix achieves its dielectric performance with a low dielectric loss tangent (Df) of 0.004 and a controlled dielectric constant (Dk) of 2.8.

According to the supplier, dielectric resins are suitable for manufacturing high precision semiconductor housings and components. The resin reduces signal losses and improves the overall performance of the system. Radix can also be used to produce miniaturized sensors, antennas, or other critical components that must meet the stringent requirements of the aerospace industry.

Thanks to its compatibility, Radix is intended to fully exploit the precision of BMF's Microarch 3D printers.
