QTREX Deploys Nano Dimension AME Tech at Israeli Defense Firm

From Nano Dimension to QTREX

QTREX Quantum acquired Nano Dimension's Additively Manufactured Electronics business in April 2026. The technology prints electronic circuits directly onto 3D-printed substrates, combining structural and electronic functions in a single build.

One of Israel's three largest defense companies has already started deploying QTREX's AME systems for a joint development program focused on strategic systems that operate at the physical limits of precision and performance. The company expects the partnership to reduce development time for specialized electronics.

What AME actually means for defense

Traditional electronics manufacturing requires separate steps for circuit boards, wiring, and enclosures. AME collapses that process. Conductive traces, sensors, and antennas can be printed directly onto custom-shaped parts during the build.

For defense applications, that matters. Lightweight, custom-shaped electronics that fit exactly into confined spaces are valuable for drones, satellites, and tactical systems. QTREX is pitching the technology as a way to build electronics that are impossible to make with conventional methods.

The U.S. connection

A U.S. Department of Defense laboratory is already operating QTREX's AME system and is targeting Q4 2026 to formalize a joint program. That makes QTREX one of the few additive electronics companies with active programs on both sides of the Atlantic.
