When the DMP-2800 Dimatix Materials Printer was introduced in November 2005, it quickly won praise as the industry’s first cost-effective, cartridge-based materials deposition system, able to precision print fluids such as organic polymers, nanoparticle, conductors, dielectrics, resists, nucleotides, enzymes, and proteins, etc., without heat or contact, which are qualities that have made short, experimental production runs feasible for a multitude of applications. Since then, more than 450 of the DMP-2800 printers and tens of thousands of single-use Dimatix Materials Cartridge printheads have been purchased by organizations around the world to print fluids and molecules for applications ranging from RFID, flexible electronics and photovoltaics to biosensors and DNA synthesis reactions.
The DMP-2800 also has set the stage for the new DMP-3000 Dimatix Materials Printer, which features a larger printable area of 300 x 300 mm, maintains tight positional accuracy and repeatability of ± 5 µm and ± 1 µm, respectively, and accepts multiple printheads to meet the needs of printed electronics R&D and support production scale-up.
