Orlando, FL: nScrypt announces its Factory in a Tool trainer, which it calls nStructor™. Soon after nScrypt released its new nStudio advanced software package, it saw a need for a low-cost machine customers can use to learn nStudio.  Using an nStructor™ system, customers can become proficient nStudio users without competing for machine time on their high-precision nScrypt 3Dn, 3Dx, or nRugged Factory in a Tool systems.  Or if they are awaiting delivery of an nScrypt Factory in a Tool they can be ready to hit the ground running as soon as the system is installed.  

With XYZ travel of 274mm X 240mm X 160mm, nStructor™ mimics the broad and robust functionality of its 3Dn, 3Dx, and nRugged cousins, including features such as target view and process view cameras, but lacks their high-precision performance.

nScrypt’s CEO, Dr. Ken Church, said:

nScrypt’s direct digital manufacturing systems are all about high-precision motion, microdispensing, aerosol jetting, 3D printing, milling, and pick and place, for building complete electronic devices with automatic tool changes.  But precision is expensive and time is money, so training on our main systems may not be cost effective.  For a fraction of the cost of one of our main systems, our customers can learn to use the multi-tool head capabilities of their high-precision Factory in a Tool before it arrives.  If they already have one or more of our systems, they probably want to optimize their main use, whether it’s manufacturing on the factory floor or R&D design and manufacturing.  nStructor™ enables our users to learn to use the main system without interfering with its optimized use.  It’s like learning to fly.  It’s more efficient to learn on a simulator before taking the plane into the air. 

nStructor™ can be used right out of the box.  nScrypt ships it to the customer, who unboxes it, plugs it in, turns it on, and starts learning nStudio and everything that the nScrypt Factory in a Tool systems can do.

nScrypt believes it is the only company to offer a trainer machine so customers can optimize the use of their main system.
