Voltera

@r1ckp @cqcqcqdx Hi Rick! V-One has actually been around for 11 years and is being used in 92 countries, from R&D labs to classrooms. It is primarily a prototyping tool (for printing multiple versions of a PCB in a single day). Once the design is finalized, outsourcing is a great option.

@cqcqcqdx This thing has been around for over 5 years and no one is seriously using it. It takes hours optimizing your layout for it, unclogging the nozzles, setting up the machine and switching tools to get a single very basic PCB. While five of them cost 5$ at JLC.

Meet the V-One by Voltera. A desktop circuit board printer! Prototype and assemble PCBs in an hour. Prints conductive ink to create traces and pads.

@ICanExplainEver @cqcqcqdx Yes, V-One has a drill attachment to drill holes for vias. You can then use rivets to connect the top and bottom layers.

@cqcqcqdx Does it drill holes?

@_asadmemon @cqcqcqdx V-One has a drill attachment that can drill holes for vias. Once the hole has been drilled, you can use rivets to connect the top and bottom layers. Hope this helps!

@cqcqcqdx what about vias

This is absolutely astounding! A printer that prints circuit board traces. I am going all in on this. We will have a 100x increase in production and testing!

@maksimdrachov This should not happen. Could you please reach out to support@voltera.io?

Today we received a sample board produced by the @voltera_io PCB printer. Unfortunately, it has a major flaw: the conductive material applied detaches as soon as you try to solder it.

@GreeneElizabeth @voltera_io does this!

The 3D printed stencil generator now has automatic alignment. No more lining up the stencil and taping it down, just drop it on and go. You can also now use gerber files directly instead of an SVG I'm printing some tests right now and will make more improvements as I use it.

We sure are! 🇨🇦

@MakeAugusta @admiralbenji That’s interesting! We don’t do subscriptions for solder paste or ink. Perhaps the sales team was trialing something, but it was never fully implemented? Sorry you didn’t have a good experience. That’s definitely not the level of customer service we set out to provide.

@voltera_io @admiralbenji When I talked to the sales team, years ago, they pitched a subscription plan for the solder and ink cartridges. I never considered the software being subscription based.

@MakeAugusta @admiralbenji Sorry to hear about your experience. I’m wondering if you may have us confused with another company because none of our products are subscription-based. Our software is free and always has been.

That was the deciding factor, but the price was an issue as well. I also forgot all about the subscription-based proprietary stuff they were trying to pull at the time. This is a product that was tailored for academia because it could not work in a practical world. Machines that can, do. Machines that can't, teach.

@MakeAugusta Hi there. It appears you may have mixed up our products: V-One, a desktop PCB printer (that you likely discussed with our team years ago), and NOVA (featured in the video above, and only released in 2022). NOVA is primarily a dispensing machine for screen-printable inks.

@elodiebear_m @WevolverApp This is great to hear! Let us know if you have any questions!

@WevolverApp NOVA's viscosity range solves my biggest prototyping headaches. That 1M cps ceiling means no more failed solder paste experiments.

Solder paste can be dispensed onto flexible substrates such as PET, expanding the possibilities for flexible and printed electronics applications. In this demonstration, solder paste was applied to PET and cured at 150 °C for two minutes. The system shown in the video is NOVA, Voltera’s materials dispensing platform. NOVA is designed to handle materials with viscosities ranging from 1,000 to 1,000,000 cps, including various solder pastes, enabling precise deposition across a range of electronic manufacturing processes.

@JeremySCook Yes, it can drill through holes.

@voltera_io It drills though, so not entirely additive in that sense, correct? Guess it doesn't have the power/rigidity for lateral movement under load?

@voltera_io what kind of substrate does your V-One print on?

@JeremySCook Unfortunately not. The V-One is an entirely additive machine, so it deposits conductive material rather than milling or etching away material.

@voltera_io Thx - is your process capable of milling the PCB traces or cutting out outlines?
