One of the most aesthetically beautiful works entered in the Bits to Its Art Show for which Potomac Photonics is the official 3D printing service is actually a realization of a mathematical equation. Round Mobius Strip was created by Henry Segerman, a research fellow at Melbourne University in Australia with a PhD in mathematics from…
Potomac Photonics recently departed from their usual industrial, consumer and manufacturing applications to serve as the official 3D printing service for the Bits to Its 3D Printing art show in Rockland, Maine. The Bits to Its show organizers chose digital fabrication experts Potomac Photonics to complete all the 3D Printing needed by artists who did not have their…
Potomac Photonics is pleased to have partnered with the Budker Group at the Physics Department of the University of California, Berkeley on a recent project. The Budker Group conducts research on the physics and applications of ensembles of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond to detect magnetic fields with high spatial resolution. One possible application is…
Potomac is headed to the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas! We’re excited to be part of Eureka Park at CES, a specialized tech zone within The Venetian Hotel. Presented in partnership with the National Science Foundation and Startup America, we were given the opportunity to participate through our NSF SBIR Phase II work…
We have had a busy week drilling small holes in a variety of materials. This included several applications related to probe card devices. Probe cards are used as an interface between between electronic test equipment and a semiconductor wafer. In addition we have been drilling holes as small as 5 microns in tantalum and holes…
Although we are only a few days into the New Year, we have completed many Small Hole Drilling projects for our customers. Among these is included a project in which we laser drilled multiple arrays of microholes in aluminum for one of our University partners: holes ranging from 50 to 300 microns in diameter were drilled…
