Fujifilm’s new Dimatix DMP-2850 Material Printer has innovative features and enhanced performance for technology development in printed electronics, displays and beyond. This is an upgraded and enhanced version of the industry-leading inkjet deposition research platform, the DMP-2831. Since its launch over 10 years ago, the DMP-2831 has become the industry standard laboratory tool for the development of inkjet deposition fluids and processes, with approximately 1,000 units placed worldwide in academic and industrial facilities. “The DMP-2850 is a significant upgrade to better serve R&D customers with improved cameras, more intuitive application software, and provisions for automated data collection and analysis,” said Fujifilm.
It includes an embedded 64-bit PC pre-configured with Microsoft Windows 8.1 and updated Drop Manager software. Two high-speed cameras with finer resolution optics provide superior images for drop-watching and print inspection functions. To accompany the hardware changes, the DMP-2850 will build on user accessibility and flexibility with an enhanced software platform. Remote access API and open architecture enable remote monitoring of cameras and printer status. More options for complex printing will be available with feature recognition, auto registration functions, and support for multi-layer printing. Jetting evaluation and drop-watching operations will also benefit from automated analysis.
A complete platform for precision printing of materials, jetting analysis and fluid development, the DMP-2850 provides the user with powerful tools for R&D work. Its drop-watching system enables jetting performance to be analyzed in combination with extensive control over printhead operation. A fiducial camera facilitates print inspection and accurate print registration to existing features. Cartridges are available with two native drop sizes, one and 10 picolitres, allowing customers their choice of jettable fluids. Silicon MEMS cartridge technology ensures compatibility with a wide range of organic solvent or aqueous-based fluid chemistries. “This latest update to the desktop Dimatix Materials Printer is just the most recent in a series of investments we’re making in this field,” said Fujifilm Dimatix CEO and President, Martin Schoeppler. The DMP-2850 will be available from September of 2016, and with enhanced user applications in the first quarter of 2017.
