Lprint develops an innovative PCB printing technology that enables the production of complete circuits in a single process, encompassing the substrate, conductive traces.
ABOUT US
PCB PRINTER
3D printer that generates entire circuits in one step — including substrate, conductive traces
The essence of our solution is the development of a 3D printer specially adapted for printing printed circuit boards. A distinctive feature of our printer is the ability to print with a wide range of high-viscosity materials. First of all, it is a metal for printing conductive layers and a polymer for printing insulation layers. Due to the fact that the printing process is built on the basis of additive technology, this will make it possible to print a free-form PCB with an arbitrary number of layers. The conductivity of our printed traces is comparable to that of real copper, enabling the development of functional PCBs that go beyond mere prototypes.
PROBLEMS ON MARKET
traditional manufacturing methods are more rigid, generate more waste, less efficient for the production of complex objects
COMPLEX SUPPLY CHAIN
Companies usually outsource the production of PCB to a third party, often overseas vendor. Relying on third parties increases vulnerability to disruptions, affecting supply chains and overall business continuity. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted how quickly and easily supply chains can be disrupted.
01
SLOW PRODUCTION TIME
Design revisions or mistakes in PCB design can necessitate an additional production cycle, potentially extending the waiting period from weeks to months. This not only causes significant delays in time-to-market but also slows down the pace of ideation and innovation.
02
RISKS OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY THEFT
There are risks of intellectual property theft in printed circuit board traditional manufacturing, as companies need to transfer the whole PCB project design to third parties. Consumer electronics are one of the world’s fastest-growing areas of counterfeit goods.
03
ECO-UNFRIENDLY
Traditional manufacturing is poor energy efficiency, wasteful, not-supporting sustainability. The production of PCBs is a tedious multistep process that generates a lot of waste: the etching step alone generates 1x10E12 litres of chemical waste annually.
04
USING LPRINT, BUSINESS CAN EASILY VASTLY REDUCE OVERALL PRODUCTION COSTS AND PRICE OF ERROR, EXPIDIATE TIME-2-MARKET
Lprint resolves every inefficiency within traditional production methods, and launch tech production into a new generation entirely.
Lpint creates a new customer experience in manufacturing by simplifying a complex process of prototyping, testing, developing hardware.
SOLUTION
END-2-END EXECUTION
01
End-to-end solutions help improve the efficiency and performance, allows the company to better monitor the process from the planning stage to the execution stage without the third parties.
02
FASTER PRODUCTION
With Lprints businesses can build PCB faster, in 24 hours, saving not only weeks of production, but also the critical ideation and iteration phases.
03
MORE SUSTAINABLE
3D printing eliminates toxic chemical waste and dramatically reduces energy consumption. 3D printing is more sustainable and demonstrably so on key ecological, environmental, and waste metrics.
04
IP PROTECTION
3D printing keeps ideas confidential within your organization. Intellectual property protection with in-house manufacturing rather than off-shore outsourcing.

WHY DID WE

WHY DID WE
PICK THIS IDEA
WORK ON?
While working in hardware development over 10 years, we faced the same problems of money and time waste. Existing solutions hardly solve this problem.
Those problems served as a trigger for finding a better solution for this sophisticated problem. For recent years designers have an ability to test their ideas, by printing their projects on 3D printers. But why can't we do the same for another large industry - electronics development?
So our team dedicated time early on to working through finding how to transform additive manufacturing electronics & adjacent additive manufacturing sectors.
When we started our startup, we weren't just trying to solve a problem. We wanted to find a solution to an everyday issue, that we faced too.

FAQ
We are not incorporated yet. We are operating within the Inria Research Center and are currently in the prototyping stage.
The startup is headquartered at Inria Startup Studio in Inria Saclay Research Center.
The PCB design is done in classic ECAD software like Altium, Cadence, etc. The design results in Gerber files. These Gerber files are imported into our software, which recreates a 3D model of the board, slices it into layers for printing, converts these layers into G-code, and sends the G-code to the printer for printing.
Theoretically, there are no limits. A reasonable number is up to 22 layers.
