Product Introduction
AconityMICRO is Aconity3D’s first compact, pre-configured system, specifically designed for a single application: MICROLPBF. As such, the system combines a small spot size—down to 40 microns—with the ability to evenly distribute extremely fine powder at layer thicknesses below 10 microns, thanks to Aconity3D’s revolutionary vibratory powder deposition technology.
Other highlights include fully removable powder hoppers and build trays, enabling end users to perform extremely rapid material changes and quick process startups.
Like all Aconity3D systems, the AconityMICRO is equipped with the web-based control software AconitySTUDIO, which enables remote access to all relevant process parameters and machine components. The web-based user interface allows convenient remote access to all functions from a remote desktop in your office—when needed.

The Aerosol Jet 5X system is a modular, conformal printing solution for electronics that meets evolving R&D and production needs. Driven by both R&D and manufacturing requirements, the system addresses advancing product‑functionality demands while reducing size and weight. With capabilities ranging from planar to multi‑axis deposition, it supports rapid prototyping and facilitates small‑batch production.
With the rapid advancement of microelectronic devices and wearable technologies, on-chip energy storage components must balance high energy density with compact form factors. Micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) have emerged as a leading candidate; however, conventional planar electrode architectures suffer from low active-material loading and long ion‑transport pathways. Two-dimensional Ti₃C₂Tₓ MXene materials, with their high specific surface area and excellent electrochemical performance, are an ideal choice for fabricating high‑performance MSCs. Nevertheless, their 3D assembly faces three major challenges: first, MXene nanosheets are held together only by weak van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonds, lacking strong interfacial interactions and thus failing to maintain a stable 3D architecture; second, existing methods rely on binders and other additives, which can occupy active sites and degrade device performance; third, traditional 3D‑printing techniques exhibit low resolution (typically >40 μm) and low aspect ratios (generally <0.3), making it difficult to fabricate high‑fidelity, complex 3D microstructures. To address these bottlenecks, a team at Carnegie Mellon University has developed an additive‑free aerosol jet printing (AJP) technique that enables the 3D self‑supporting assembly of MXene nanosheets. The resulting work was published in the journal Small.
With the rapid advancement of technology, smart wearable devices are becoming increasingly ubiquitous. Our daily lives, sports activities, health monitoring, and even personal safety all rely on these “smart garments.” However, to achieve truly “intimate” smart functionality, one key challenge is solving the energy‑supply problem: conventional batteries are bulky, rigid, and difficult to integrate into soft textile materials, while their lifespan, charge‑discharge performance, and wash durability all pose significant hurdles. Consequently, developing lightweight, flexible, washable energy storage devices with superior performance has emerged as a crucial breakthrough for advancing the smart‑wearable industry. Supercapacitors, with their high power density, long cycle life, and rapid charge‑discharge capabilities, stand out as an ideal choice. Integrating supercapacitors directly into textiles has thus become the industry’s ultimate goal. Today, we introduce an exciting technological breakthrough: using aerosol jet printing (AJP) to directly “print” high‑performance MXene materials onto fabrics, creating miniature supercapacitors that are both soft and washable, while delivering exceptional performance—ushering in a new era for wearable electronics.
When you’re exercising with a smartwatch, do you often worry about the battery suddenly running out? And as IoT sensors become ubiquitous in homes and cities, how can we provide these tiny devices with a long-lasting, reliable power supply? With the explosive growth of portable and wearable electronics and IoT technologies, the limitations of traditional energy-storage devices—such as miniaturization, high integration, and flexibility—are becoming increasingly apparent. Recently, research teams from institutions including the Guangdong–Israel Institute of Technology and the Southern University of Science and Technology published a groundbreaking achievement in ACS Applied Energy Materials. Using aerosol-jet 3D printing technology, they successfully fabricated an array of graphene‑based hollow‑pillar electrode (HPE) microsupercapacitors (MSCs). These devices not only deliver a high output voltage of 10 V but also boast an exceptionally high integration density of 102 cm⁻², while maintaining excellent bending stability, thus opening up new avenues for the development of miniature energy‑storage devices.
