Rogers Corporation, a leading global technology company, has unveiled Radix Printable Dielectric materials, an innovative UV-curable 3D printing resin explicitly designed for RF (Radio Frequency) applications. This groundbreaking material opens up new possibilities for designers, enabling them to leverage the design freedom of additive manufacturing to achieve enhanced performance and flexibility.
Developed by Rogers Corporation, Radix Printable Dielectric materials are ceramic-filled, UV-curable polymers created for use with popular photopolymer 3D printing processes such as stereolithography (SLA) and digital light processing (DLP) printing. These cutting-edge materials, in combination with advanced printing techniques, empower the production of high-resolution, scalable 3D-printed RF dielectric components, including complex gradient index (GRIN) lenses and three-dimensional circuits.
The standout feature of Radix Printable Dielectric materials is their exceptional 2.8Dk (dielectric constant), enabling low loss characteristics even at millimeter wave (mmWave) frequencies. Additionally, these materials exhibit excellent resistance to moisture absorption, making them highly suitable for a wide range of end-use applications. Rogers Corporation has ensured easy accessibility to the materials by making them available directly through its network of 3D printing processing partners.
The benefits of Radix Printable Dielectric are substantial. It boasts the lowest loss UV-curable material in the industry at 24GHz, making it the go-to choice for RF applications in the realm of 3D printing. The materials' low moisture absorption properties contribute to long-term stability and reliability. Moreover, they allow for feature sizes as small as 225 micrometers, enabling the production of finely detailed parts with rigid mechanical properties.
Rogers Corporation's Radix Printable Dielectric resin provides designers with the opportunity to explore new frontiers that were previously unattainable using traditional fabrication processes. The unique properties of the material facilitate the creation of volumetric and three-dimensional circuits, revolutionizing electronic device design possibilities. Furthermore, the one-material system supports the utilization of gradient index (GRIN) designs, simplifying the manufacturing process and enhancing efficiency.
