Iranian Firm Makes Gold, Silver in Nano, Micro Dimensions for Industries
“In the field of metal nanoparticles, most researchers provide part of the required materials before starting their projects, and their industrial production is usually not carried out. However, for industrial applications such as plating and electrophoretic processes, there is a need for gold and silver nanoparticles, and our company provides them as precursors and on an industrial scale,” said Ali Mehdipour, the managing director of Pouya Rizsazeh Razi company based at the Research Center of the Islamic Azad University’s Najafabad branch, in the sidelines of the 16th International Nanotechnology Exhibition in Tehran.
“These nanoparticles have been sold in the research and laboratory sector and have different grades A, B and C, with the highest quality and purity corresponding to Grade A and is mostly used by researchers; because industries usually do not need this high grade,” he added.
The 16th International Nano Technology Exhibition and the First Exhibition of Advanced Technologies of Iran was inaugurated at the Tehran International Fairground.
Held from November 2 to 5, the Nano Exhibition featured over 150 innovative companies showcasing advancements in nanotechnology. Meanwhile, the Exhibition of Advanced Technologies hosted 80 knowledge-based and technological products, attracting visitors, particularly students, researchers, and investors.
In a relevant development in 2024, a technological company in Iran had succeeded in manufacturing 3D printers which reduce the cost of production of jewelry and gold accessories.
The technological company, stationed at the incubator center of Islamic Azad University’s Tabriz branch, has manufactured 3D printers in the fields of goldsmithing, dentistry and modeling.
“Among the achievements of our company, we can mention the indigenization of certain 3D printing technologies with specific technical specifications and presentation of innovations that have promoted this industry and are now being emulated by other industrial activists,” Shahriar Nezakat, the managing director of ‘Kohan Sanatgaran Khallag’ company, told ANA.
“The development and production of 3D printing machines, related machines, peripheral equipment and consumables are among our activities. Also, among the products currently being produced by our company, we can mention 3D printers with DLP and LCD technology, ultra-precise casting resins, and post processing devices,” he added.
Noting that his company has successfully completed the research and development stages of the 3D printer with SLM technology, Nezakat said, “We hope to produce the prototype of this product, whose technology is in the hands of a few countries like the US and Germany, soon.”
