Billed as a \u2018personal electronic circuit factory,\u2019 the Squink printed circuit boards (PCBs) from the desktop for engineers impatient to see their ideas come to fruition\u2014allowing them to make anything from drones to watches in mere moments\u2014instead of months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BotFactory\u2019s insight into what engineers wanted came from their own weary experiences as students at NYU Tandon School of Engineering, where they missed a number of class deadlines while waiting on prototypes. The BotFactory quickly grew from concept to hardware, in the form of their initial machine, the Squink. George Kyriakou, BotFactory co-founder and COO, and his fellow engineers 3D printed the entire circuit board printer in their small headquarters. They were stumped by one part though: the vacuuming mechanism on the pick-and-place toolhead simply was not providing enough sucking action to do its job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, BotFactory realized they needed expert advice in refining the failing toolhead. Shapeways came into the picture upon the advice of a friend, leading them quickly to a new part. It was also the beginning of a great working relationship that has continued for years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/GeorgeKyriakou_COO_BotFactory-913x840.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41556\" width=\"447\" height=\"410\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/GeorgeKyriakou_COO_BotFactory-913x840.jpg 913w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/GeorgeKyriakou_COO_BotFactory-685x630.jpg 685w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/GeorgeKyriakou_COO_BotFactory-420x386.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/GeorgeKyriakou_COO_BotFactory-768x707.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/GeorgeKyriakou_COO_BotFactory-1536x1413.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/GeorgeKyriakou_COO_BotFactory-2048x1884.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 447px) 100vw, 447px\" \/><figcaption><em>George Kyriakou, co-founder and COO of BotFactory<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe started with a very small part,\u201d explained Kyriakou. \u201cOur MakerBot Replicator 2 wasn\u2019t able to make it completely air-proof, and we needed more advanced 3D printing technology for actual part usage.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Working with Shapeways,\nBotFactory was able to source materials that worked best for them while making\nand perfecting the Squink. This was particularly easy due to the proximity of\nShapeways in New York City, just a couple blocks away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the beginning, BotFactory was extremely happy with the ability to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/model\/material-configurator\/upload\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">upload models online<\/a>, find out if there were any printability issues, and best of all, receive instant quotes from Shapeways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBack then we were on a very tight budget and we were\nworking with very low numbers, so being able to know exactly what to expect was\nvery important,\u201d said George Kyriakou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2015 as BotFactory reached out to Shapeways for help, they were just beginning to see a glimmer of the future, with an ongoing need for more industrial 3D printed parts\u2014especially with the complex geometries they needed to manufacture. There was also a lot of testing for materials before settling on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/materials\/versatile-plastic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Nylon 12 [Versatile Plastic] (opens in a new tab)\">Nylon 12 [Versatile Plastic]<\/a> for many of their parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG6056_LP_720x640.jpg\" alt=\"The cable holder\" class=\"wp-image-41551\" width=\"433\" height=\"385\"\/><figcaption><em>3D printed cable holder.

The ability to have an account representative who knows our product and\nknows our needs has been tremendously helpful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG5990_LP_720x640-0.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41557\" width=\"517\" height=\"458\"\/><figcaption><em>Pick-and-place tray<\/em>. <em>Photo credit: BotFactory<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Although they still support their original printer, BotFactory has retired the Squink. Now superseded by the SV2 and an entire range of options to include the Starter, Enhanced, and Professional versions, BotFactory is working with Shapeways to 3D print numerous main hardware components for their circuit board printers. This includes the toolheads for inkjet printing, paste dispensing and pick-and-place\u2014all the main components responsible for performing the fabrication and assembly of a PCB. Shapeways also 3D prints the head casings and other smaller components like mounting brackets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The entirety of the mechanical\u00a0engineering was carried out by Lead Mechanical Engineer Pranav Mahamuni, who stated \u201cShapeways is a key\u00a0part of our product development cycle\u2014we can count on meeting the strict\u00a0tolerances and material capabilities that we need to make a precision PCB printer\u00a0like\u00a0ours.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, the goal at BotFactory is to create\ntechnology so mature and so approachable that they can\nmake it available to every single electrical engineer. In the meantime, they\nare also working with the U.S. Air Force to develop on-demand 3D printing and\nassembly of their PCBs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out <em>\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/resources\/case-studies\/botfactory\/\">BotFactory: Engineers Revolutionize PCB Manufacturing with 3D Printing<\/a><\/em><strong>, <\/strong>a case study offering a more in-depth look at how BotFactory grew from a small startup to a sophisticated technology company offering a new series of small circuit board printers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Engineers from around the world have evolved in tandem with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/\">Shapeways<\/a>, founded in 2007 in the Netherlands and now headquartered in New York City.
