EEVblog #614 - Cebit 2014 Highlights

Dave attended the Cebit 2014 event in Sydney at Homebush Olympic Park. Here are some highlights.
The EX¹ the worlds first PCB printer. It prints silver conductive ink onto FR4, paper, mylar, or many other types of substrate.
GoFar, a wireless car monitoring startup.
The University of Newcastle Robotics group NuBots:
Showcasing the robots use in the RoboCup challenge.

Those Nubots are ace!  Thanks for filming this!

[ChipGuy]

That PCB printer is the future. There is so much room or refinement and additions. Wow

[MattHumanPizza]

I liked that zoomed in to zoomed out shot of the entire inside of the place, great view ; )

[daxdadog]

Lot of cool stuff, and cool people. I'm glad you went!

[AnalogX]

I can watch those NuRobots kicking a ball around all day.

[alexandrealmeida]

I sensed some desire for "design for product" on your part Dave... Thanks for the show tour.

[BalticLab]

The CeBIT is always a great trade show to attend! Never been to the one in Australia though :(

[doomprophet]

Love the go far thing. Cant wait for the kick starter.

[zusurs]

1:57 lol, dude - nice panning shot... :)

[TesserLink]

something like this would be amazing to have to build custom boards for things i make instead of going to Radio shack and picking up a bread board and manually do it.

[RicardasLee]

That conductive ink project is hobie electronics dream come true. Though those robots were a bit dumb or let's say not tweaked... Good video, Dave!

[spacethegas]

i really enjoyed this one. i don't understand a word of the technical stuff, but i really enjoy your style. that's why i follow your channel :)

At 1:58, just zooming in on a totally random booth, eh Dave?

[joutsiman]

Hopefully they'll get that printer down to 8-10mil trace and isolation width. Would make a customer out of me instantly. Another thing that might be interesting is printing solder resist and silk screening as well.

hi Dave is it was good I was there I went on Monday I quite enjoyed myself as well thanks Dave

[Gamewwx]

so cool robots and cool printer. awesome

[redcatimaging]

These little robots are cute :). Great design. And of course the energy saving application is always nice (but can only be as good, as the driver reacting on it). The prototype circuit board printer is very interesting and I really hope it's in maybe 10 years developed down with the price like it's starting with 3D printers. Would be good, if it had a third cartridge with something like soldermask to protect the circuit. Or "modular heads" like one for FR4, one (with special inks) for glass...so much room for future improvements...:). Especially (reliably) printing on glass will be interesting. Thanks for sharing Dave.

I can't tell you how excited I am about that Argentum printer. The price is way too high as of right now for me but hopefully in a couple of years it will have come down substantially in price and features will improve. I'm waiting it out for the best I hope! But I'm so excited

[ingusmant]

What is the maximum definition the printer can handle before conductivity gets iffy/erratic?

[jjdro]

not sure I see the utility over a toner transfer etching method.  1500 for the printer + 50 per cart seems crazy for 15 mil traces
