Nanoe is unveiling its latest ceramic filament, Zetamix TiO₂, at EUCAP 2025, the nineteenth European Convention on Antennas and Propagation, beginning on March thirtieth. This sinterable titanium dioxide-based materials, also referred to as rutile, delivers an exceptionally excessive permittivity of roughly 75 with impressively low dielectric losses. Particularly engineered for radiofrequency (RF) purposes, this product represents a distinct segment that may be ideally explored through Nanoe’s accessible sure filament know-how.
A key characteristic of Zetamix TiO₂ is its capacity to allow the manufacturing of considerably lighter and extra compact RF components. As a result of excessive permittivity supplies can focus electromagnetic vitality extra effectively, designers can scale back the dimensions of parts like dielectric resonators and antennas with out sacrificing efficiency. A direct comparability (within the picture beneath) between a resonator printed in zirconia and one made with the brand new TiO₂ filament exhibits how a lot area and weight may be saved utilizing this superior materials.
The event of the Zetamix TiO₂ filament was a collaborative effort between Nanoe, Thales, and the LEAT laboratory, with assist from the Agence Innovation Défense. As the best permittivity 3D printable ceramic presently obtainable, it permits improved RF miniaturization and sophisticated part manufacturing capabilities. This launch follows Nanoe’s earlier Zetamix Epsilon line, reinforcing the corporate’s rising portfolio of RF-focused supplies.
Sintered TiO₂ has lengthy been valued in RF for its capacity to scale back sign losses whereas sustaining excessive efficiency. Now, with Zetamix TiO₂, engineers can 3D print intricate dielectric constructions instantly, unlocking new prospects in antenna design, RF filters, waveguides, and extra. The brand new filament is especially fitted to use in aerospace, protection, and high-frequency communications, the place space-saving and efficiency are equally essential.
