Infrastructure for functional printing

Our infrastructure

• Inkjet printers
  Three modern inkjet printers are available, a Dimatix DMP 2800 and two PIXDRO LP50 print platforms, which enable the use of the most important industrial print head types.

• Optomec aerosol jet printers
  Our aerosol jet printing process is a non-contact direct structuring process with high resolution (up to 10µm) and also enables the use of non-planar substrates and the creation of 2.5D structures.

• ESJET printer
  Electrostatic Jet Printing technology is used to apply functional inks in a viscosity range and droplet volume that is currently not available for conventional piezo-based inkjet technologies.

• Solenoid valve printers
  Compared to inkjet printing, this technology allows the application of larger drop volumes and working in a wider viscosity range with a larger minimum line width and lower possible printing frequency.

• Flexographic printing laboratory unit
  Highly viscous inks or pastes are applied to the ink application roller via a doctor blade, which then wets the prefabricated cliché with the structures to be transferred. In the roller-based process, the ink is then transferred from the cliché to the substrate to be printed. 

• Thieme precision screen printing machine
  In screen printing, a highly viscous ink or paste is applied to the substrate via a pre-structured screen (stencil) using a doctor blade. Parameters such as squeegee speed, mesh fineness and mesh size of the screen determine the printing result.

• Microarray-Spotter
  The system enables simple, cost-effective production with high throughput and is particularly suitable for the manufacture of biochips for diagnostic applications.
