Montreal, Canada, May 18, 2023: Voltera, makers of rapid prototyping platforms for printed electronics, has announced they have been awarded Most Innovative New Product for <a href="https://www.voltera.io/nova">NOVA</a>, their modular dispensing platform for flexible hybrid electronics. The award was presented by intelliFLEX at <a href="https://intelliflex.org/cpes2023/" target="_blank">CPES</a> — Canada’s premier conference and trade show exhibition for flexible and hybrid electronics.“We’re incredibly honored and humbled to receive this award from intelliFLEX for our new product, NOVA. Our team worked hard to create a solution for innovators who are making and researching the electronics of the future. We’re so grateful for the support we’ve received since launching NOVA last fall and it means so much to us to be recognized by the printed electronics community at CPES,” said Jesús Zozaya, Voltera CEO and co-founder.NOVA uses precision extrusion technology to help users unlock new opportunities and accelerate the research and development of flexible hybrid electronics. It’s capable of printing a wide range of functional materials and high-viscosity inks. Built to be a rapid prototyping platform, NOVA streamlines the iteration process, allows users to make changes to materials and settings in minutes, and seamlessly scales designs to the production stage.“The idea for NOVA began more than five years ago, so it was really exciting to see it launch last fall. Now we feel like we’ve come full circle having received this recognition from our printed electronics peers. So many people helped get Voltera and NOVA to where it is today. We’re extremely grateful for the support we received around NOVA’s launch and we’re thrilled to be bringing this award back to our team,“ said James Pickard, Product Director and co-founder of Voltera.&nbsp;‍For more information on NOVA, please visit <a href="https://hubs.ly/Q01QpjFx0">voltera.io/nova</a>.‍About Voltera:&nbsp;Voltera is a rapidly scaling and profitable Canadian tech company that is driving substantial change in the additive electronics industry.

Voltera wins Most Innovative New Product for NOVA at CPES 2023

Voltera, makers of rapid prototyping platforms for printed electronics, has announced they have been awarded Most Innovative New Product for NOVA, their modular dispensing platform for flexible hybrid electronics. The award was presented by intelliFLEX at CPES — Canada’s premier conference and trade show exhibition for flexible and hybrid electronics.

Kitchener, Canada, October 4, 2022: Voltera, a global leader and manufacturer of additive and printed electronics technology, today announced the launch of <a href="https://www.voltera.io/nova?utm_campaign=nova_launch&utm_medium=earned&utm_source=press">NOVA</a>, a groundbreaking manufacturing platform for printing flexible hybrid electronics. NOVA uses direct-write technology to print circuits on soft, stretchable, and conformable surfaces.‍“This first-of-its-kind benchtop machine unlocks rapid flexible hybrid electronics prototyping and the ability to experiment with custom inks and a wide variety of substrates,” said Alroy Almeida, CEO and co-founder of Voltera. “NOVA is already being used to innovate how humankind explores deep space, to develop printed, on-skin sensors for medical imaging, and to prototype clothing that can measure your heart rate yet can go through the gentle cycle in your washing machine.”‍NOVA’s precision extrusion technology makes it easier and faster to conduct research and develop the products of the future by enabling rapid benchtop iteration, leading to more reliable results, faster development times, and lower costs.‍"With NOVA, we can make devices and align them to sub 10-micron precision, which is essential to everything that we do,” said Alex Kashkin, Graduate Researcher, Velasquez Group at MIT, who is using NOVA to develop printed electron sources for neutralizing ionic thruster plumes in low-earth orbit. “If we have a 20-micron deviation, our devices explode. We need a lot of precision, we need to have tuned materials, and NOVA enables both." Technological advancement involves pushing the boundaries of what is known. NOVA crosses the bridge between what researchers can do and what they wish they could do.‍“I think where this sort of technology, NOVA, will shine is in applications that were not possible before. You shouldn't fight or try to compete with silicon chips or PCBs. You should try to make something that's impossible with those technologies,” said Gerd Grau, Director of the Electronics Additive Manufacturing Lab at York University, who is using NOVA to develop <a href="https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/9781535">on-skin biomedical tattoo electrodes</a>.‍While subtractive methodologies are great for traditional electronics, the future of electronics is flexible — and that means the future of electronics is additive. As a direct-write, digital printer, NOVA enables innovation without requiring the tooling and high costs associated with screen printing. This allows for rapid design iteration while offering higher performance than other additive prototyping options, such as inkjet. It is also better for the environment because there is significantly less waste and material contamination, and NOVA can print circuits on eco-friendly materials, such as biodegradable substrates.‍Other features of NOVA include: <ul><li>Materials freedom: Simply fill NOVA’s Smart Dispenser cartridge with the desired material and use its semi-automated calibration procedure to start printing in minutes.</li><li>Quick-swap work areas: Mount flexible substrates using the Vacuum Table module, or mount rigid substrates using custom fixturing.</li><li>Precision dispensing: Print high-resolution features with realtime, closed-loop pressure feedback — no tooling or screens required.</li><li>Integrated vision system: Align, print, and inspect quickly using an intelligent camera-based alignment and AR print overlay features.</li><li>Modular platform: Built to include two quick-swap module ports, drop-in fixturing, and optional ethernet/USB/WiFi connectivity. Two modules are currently available with additional modules on the product roadmap.</li></ul>‍For more information on NOVA, please visit <a href="https://voltera.io/nova/?utm_source=press&utm_medium=earned&utm_campaign=nova_launch">voltera.io/nova</a>.‍About Voltera:&nbsp;Voltera is a rapidly scaling and profitable Canadian tech company that is driving substantial change in the additive electronics industry.
