Redefining Scientific Measurements
and Robotic Systems
I
n this changing digital era of the
21 st century, every day is a day for
innovation. Technology is fast
evolving and renovating new terms in
the world of improvement. While
talking about the industry of 3D
printers, it is to be noted that the sector
is improving itself in a rapid speed and
bringing up new trends in the market.
The current scenario suggests that
there are different patterns observed in
the 3D printing sector namely,
manufacturing parts faster, bigger,
even smaller yet, more accurate with
new materials or made up of
composites. 3D printing remains to be
an industry sector for creative
scientists and developers, therefore,
making space for various
improvements in the future. It began
with a prime focus on rapid
prototyping and spare parts
manufacturing industry which then
turned to design, optimization, and
production of whole parts.
With the emergence of FluidFM 3D
printing technology, the industry has
found entirely new possibilities of 3D
printing and object manufacturing at
the Micro- and Nano-level.
To serve the continuous demand of
mankind to combine more and more
34
functionality on ever smaller devices
and miniaturized objects, to enable
scientists to conduct research beyond
existing boundaries, CYTOSURGE
AG, Switzerland based fast growing
high-tech company develops and
distributes scientific measuring
instruments and robotic systems based
on the patented FluidFM technology.
Headquartered in Zurich, the company
with their FluidFM technology, enables
versatile application in the areas of
material science, physics, biology and
3D printing technology. This fluid-
filled hollow cantilever technology
gives customers the capability to
directly print metal components at the
microscale in a single process step
without the need for any support
structures, at room temperature, and
that is what is keeping Cytosurge AG
ahead of others.
The team at Cytosurge AG is always
innovating and redefining technology
to make progress in the industry. The
company has recently developed their
“FluidFM μ3Dprinter” to serve the
research oriented industry and
university market with its unique micro
metal printing capabilities. The
company has exhibited in various
occasions like Inside3D Düsseldorf,
Germany; Hannover Messe, Germany;
IDTechEx, Berlin, Germany; Advanced
Material Congress, and has earned the
winner award as the Best Development
3D Printing 2017-Europe from
IDTechEX.
Offering Unique 3D Printing
Solutions
Cytosurge is known to use a unique
process which enables the printing of
the micrometer size objects and
resolutions minutely precise and
accurate. The company produces
printed objects which are even smaller
in size than the diameter of the metal
powder grains used by the other 3D
printing methods. The patented
technology of Cytosurge AG, FluidFM
process allows direct metal printing of
complex structure even with overhangs
and at ambient temperature.
The enterprise has developed a new 3D
metal printing process which enables
to print complex metal objects
invisible to the human eye. Cytosurge
says that the exact scale of the printed
objects is a major challenging factor,
but there are few to none existing
metal objects which could be replaced
with objects, manufactured with the
FluidFM enabled printing technology.
For Cytosurge, the challenge was to
