We develop and optimize pastes for 3D screen printing according to customer specifications and application specific product requirements, like biocompatibility. Paste properties are modified by additives and product layout, screen parameters and printing setup are adjusted to the paste. Our technology enables the use of a wide range of materials and their combinations, among them biomaterials, biopolymers, synthetic & thermoplastic polymers, living cells, ceramics, metals and silicones.
Our in-house screen design and production enables quick adoption to product design changes, offering flexibility at low costs. Screens, made from materials like PET or VA steel, can be customized based on paste and product characteristics, adjusting parameters like mesh width, thread thickness, and quantity. Photo-polymers for coating are also adaptable to suit the product. If needed, stencils can replace screens, broadening production options. In addition, we can print on different substrates, including glass, paper, metals or fabric.
Paste, product and process development are performed on our R&D development machine. Environmental parameters, such as temperature and humidity, are adjusted to meet paste and product specifications. Stabilization of printed layers is achieved e.g. by IR or UV radiation. The printers' modular building system allows for easy modifications and expansions, facilitating the integration of additional functional units, such as a plasma source. Our in-house inline machine enables straightforward and rapid upscaling, pro-cessing 10-20 substrate plates in parallel.
