Ultraprecise Dispensing
The main competitive advantage of the XTPL additive solution is unprecedented precision that cannot be replicated by any other printing method in the world.
XTPL printing head equipped with special nozzle dispenses the ink on the substrate using unique ultraprecise dispensing (UPD) technology – the resolution of printed structures reaches values even below 1 µm. This disruptive solution works on most substrates, even ones that are flexible and not flat.
UPD technology can provide straight lines, as well as patterns and microdots. What makes the XTPL solution unique is ultimate simplicity, unparalleled precision, speed & versatility. The shape of individual structures created with this method, their width, length and distance between them depend on the specific application requirements.
XTPL method allows to print a large variety of available materials: conductive inks, nanoparticle based suspensions, semiconductor based suspensions, insulating inks, resists, solvent based inks and biological materials. In order to achieve outstanding results XTPL creates own conductive nanoink formulas based mostly on Ag, Au or Cu nanoparticles.
