Dimatix Materials Printer DMP-5005

Like the DMP-5000, the DMP-5005 has a printable area of 500 x 500 mm with a positional accuracy and repeatability of ± 5 µm and ± 1 µm respectively. The DMP-5005 uses a temperature controlled vacuum platen to accurately register, maintain and thermally manage substrates during printing.

The printer includes an integrated drop visualization system that captures droplet formation images dynamically as droplet ejection parameters are adjusted to produce a tuned printhead and fluid combination. Electronics allow the printhead to be calibrated on a per nozzle basis to compensate for any channel-to-channel variability. A second camera system allows substrate measurements and alignment, observations of fluid drying behavior, with droplet measurement and placement calculations.

Dimatix Materials Cartridge

The Dimatix Materials Cartridge is a snap-in replaceable printhead used with both DMP models and is available in 1 pL and 10 pL drop volumes. Based on FUJIFILM Dimatix' proprietary silicon MEMS technology, the 16-jet Dimatix Materials Cartridge is designed for high-resolution, non-contact jetting of functional fluids in a broad range of applications. The industry-first 1 pL cartridge can deposit features as small as 20 μm (20 millionths of a meter) to fabricate products such as organic thin-film transistors (TFTs) and printed circuits.

D-Class Printhead

The D-128 DPN Printheads have 128 individually addressable jets and are constructed using silicon MEMS technology similar to the Dimatix Materials Cartridge, thus enabling direct translation of findings from one printhead to the other. With the industry's only 1 pL production piezoelectric printhead, the D-128 DPN Printheads are also the only printheads with integrated cooling capability to maintain fluid viscosity for operation over heated substrates. The D-128 DPN 1 pL and 10 pL Printheads share identical physical features for easy interchangeability. Both are further enhanced using driver-per-nozzle (DPN) capability, which allows compensating for any channel-to-channel variability between each of the 128-jets. This trimming feature ensures drop volume uniformity, essential for dispensing applications or modifications to drop velocity for increased placement accuracy, critical for patterning applications especially when using very small drop sizes.
