Robot power board by FPM-Trinity
- Prototype power supply boards for a custom robot were created.
- The part layout and board shape are designed to match the installation location, and the spacers required for installing are manufactured all together.
- Special shaped boards can be easily manufactured with less waste in order to reduce weight.
Four-layer buildup board by FPM-Trinity
- The four-layer buildup boards are manufactured by 3D printing.
- By designing and modeling the housing together with the boards, it is possible to make a prototype that is based on the image of the final product.
Heart rate detection earring by FPM-Trinity (Nexstar - A. Yamamoto)
- A prototype was built to demonstrate the wearable "e-lamp.", which detects the heartbeat and visualizes it with light.
- The device is reproduced in an ideal form in combination with an existing 3D printed housing.
- It allows product development to be accelerated because it is possible to easily materialize concepts.
Animal sensor boards by FPM-Trinity (FACULTY OF ENGINEERING, KYUSHU UNIVERSITY)
- Custom sensors for animal health monitoring trials have been prototyped by FPM-Trinity.
- Accelerate your development by creating custom boards for your research and proof of concept in a short period of time.
- The next planned step is to changed the shape to one that is easier for animals to wear.
Boards for IC evaluation by FPM-Trinity (Toshiba Infrastructure Systems & Solutions Corporation)
- Prototypes for boards for IC evaluations were created by FPM-Trinity in order to create them quickly and easily.
- By using the Leafony bus, it is easy to connect to an external PCB board.
Fingernail-shaped NFC devices by FPM-Trinity (Toshiba Digital Solutions Corporation)
- A fingernail-shaped NFC device with built-in electronic components and antenna.
- We can manufacture a device that fits an individual from a 3D scan of the fingernail shape.
- It is also possible to print the pattern for the antenna circuit with the 3D printer.
Smart glasses by FPM-Trinity
- Smart glasses with a sensor built into the frame of the glasses.
- By 3D scanning your favorite pair of glasses, you can manufacture smart glasses with an individually tailored shape.
- Since electronic components can be built into the frame and circuit patterns can be formed, the shape can be miniaturized.
Boards for wafer inspection by FPM-Trinity (Minimal Fab)
- We have developed a prototype of a board for wafer inspection for "minimal fabs" which makes it possible to manufacture small quantities of semiconductor chips in a short period of time, at a low cost.
- We can design boards to suit a wide variety of semiconductor chips and manufacture them with short delivery times.
Ring-shaped sensors by FPM-Trinity
- This is a ring-type wearable device with a built-in 3 axis acceleration sensor.
- Incorporating circuits into 3D shapes such as rings can also be easily achieved.
- Since the housing and circuits are molded as one piece, circuit patterns can be formed on the ring.
Ultra-compact temperature sensors by FPM-Trinity (National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology)
- This is an animal sensor unit with a built-in sensor, antenna, microcomputer, and power supply.
- Assemble the five-layered placed boards and the upper and lower housings into one unit.
- It is possible to customize the shape and size of the product to suit the target animal.
LED cube by FPM-Trinity
- A cube with LEDs arranged three-dimensionally was fabricated by stacking five boards on which LEDs were mounted and interposers with built-in probe pins, and electrically connecting them.
Leafony by FPM-Trinity
- Leafony from the Trillion Node Study Group are Arduino compatible boards that makes it easy to create compact low-power devices by simply stacking boards of any function.
- It is possible to easily create custom hardware that will dramatically speed up the development cycle of IoT just by selecting and assembling the necessary modules.
- In order to further shorten the development time, by substituting the FPM-Trinity for manufacturing one section of the functions, the design > manufacturer > verification process could be completed in four days.
Finch and FPM-Trinity
- Finch is a three opposing finger electric prosthetic hand with a simple structure and high functionality and operability.
- It is a lightweight and low cost prosthetic hand and its housing is manufactured by 3D printers.
- By redesigning the sensor that detects muscle flexing with FPM-Trinity, we were able to halve its thickness and create a gentle curved surface shape, reducing stress on the skin.
Digital Factory and FPM-Trinity
- In collaboration with Digital Factory Corporation (https://dfc-3d.com/), we have successfully incorporated LED circuit boards manufactured by FPM-Trinity in items created by a polyjet type 3D printer.
- Although the method is still in the experimental stage, by pursuing the combination of additive technologies, it will be possible to manufacture structures with freedom in the color, softness, and size while containing electronic functions.
Animal monitoring sensors by FPM-Trinity (National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology)
- A prototype animal monitoring sensor board with an antenna for wireless communication, a temperature sensor, and microcontroller was created.
- Resin can be printed again on the board after placing parts to encapsulate the parts in resin.
