Served Market Segments - Functional Printing

Additive Manufacturing (a.k.a. 3D printing) of prototypes and end-use products using our print heads for jet binding, polymer jetting and sand casting is an innovative approach to the industry that enables high-quality prototyping prior to final production.

The additive manufacturing industry is rapidly expanding beyond prototyping into end-use production solutions. Conventional production of prototypes or complex short run production normally consumes time and is costly produce. The use of prototypes created using additive manufacturing (3D printing), allows developers to economically produce mockups to iterate and verify their ideas for form and fit prior to manufacturing scale-up. Complex short run end-use products also benefit from timeliness as well as relative cost benefits offered by additive manufacturing technologies.

Jet binding-based solutions are taking the lead in segments where timeliness and complexity are dramatically improved using our Piezoelectric print heads. Our printheads are ideal for a wide range of end use applications, such as metal casting, jet binding, as well as polymer jetting.

Universities, research laboratories, and manufacturers regularly develop new applications using our printheads. This exciting field has incredible untapped potential in biotech, healthcare and many life science industries.

The boundaries of the life science market for fluid dispensing printheads are limited only by the boundaries of our imagination. This market is rapidly expanding with new requirements for precise dispensing of DNA and protein substances. The high costs of these fluids make our inkjet printheads with their precision placement and tight flow control, an excellent dispensing tool for a broad range of applications. Our inkjet printheads enable precise material deposition for applications such as medication development to UV based micro lenses.

Electronics are enabling modern living from in-home streaming to industrial use of super computers. Our printheads are capable of precise material depositions that meet industry needs for unique and precise applications.

Our inkjet printheads and integration services enable efficient and cost-effective production of electronic elements using functional fluids that are applied directly and without contact onto rigid and flexible surfaces. Our piezoelectric jetting technology makes this possible without the waste associated with typical screen printing-based application techniques. Conductive fluids can support a range of solutions used to generate and store electricity as well circuit boards and passive and active tracking devices.
