Register for NTV USA & NanoPrintek, Inc. Flexinar on Inkless Multimaterial Printing Technology next week! This presentation will showcase the extraordinary capabilities of NanoPrintek's "dry multimaterial printing" technology, which allows for the dry printing of a wide range of materials—from metals and semiconductors to insulators and composites—on various substrates. The current ink-based printing ecosystem faces significant challenges, including i) the need for a complex and pollutive supply chain, ii) expensive and extensive ink formulation processes, iii) the presence of surfactants and contaminants, iv) limited availability of printing inks, v) the requirement for high-temperature post-processing. NanoPrintek's innovative inkless multimaterial printing technology addresses these issues by enabling the direct printing of various materials from solid sources. Key advantages of this technology include 1) on-demand and in-situ generation of pure nanoparticles without contamination, 2) in-situ and real-time laser sintering of nanoparticles with no need for additional time-consuming sintering step nor sintering equipment, 3) the ability to print on a wide range of flexible and rigid substrates, and 4) multimaterial printing of hybrid and tunable nanocomposite materials and structures. This transformative technology ushers in a new era for the electronics printing ecosystem, allowing for the on-demand printing of pure, multimaterial, multifunctional, and hybrid materials. This advancement opens up a myriad of applications across diverse industries, including electronics, healthcare, automotive, aerospace, defense, and energy.
