Optomec - Maskless Mesoscale Materials Deposition (M3D®)

The M3D® aerosol-jet deposition system is a breakthrough additive technology enabling finer feature sizes than traditional ink-jetting and screen printing processes. The M3D® utilizes an innovative aerodynamic focusing technology that produces electronic and physical structures with feature sizes down to 10 microns.* The M3D® system supports a wide variety of materials including nanoparticle inks and screen-printing pastes, conductive polymers, insulators, adhesives, and even biological matter that can be accurately deposited by M3D® onto non-planar substrates.

MAIN FEATURES:

• Feature sizes to sub 10 microns*
• Thin layer deposits from 10 nm*
• Many materials and substrates
• Nanomaterial deposition capability
• Less environmental impact- minimal waste/chemicals
• 3D Non-planar capability
• Low temperature processing
