Scrona's NanoDrip printing uses the power of electrohydrodynamic (EHD) ejection, a well-known but largely unused concept in the printing world. NanoDrip printing achieves sub-micron printing resolution, allows 3D structuring and incredible placement precision. However, for decades, a major unsolved issue with any EHD-based printing technology was the complete absence of a scalability concept.
At Scrona, for the first time, we have overcome this technology-boundary by the successful realization of a multinozzle print head platform. By having nozzles assembled at mutual distances of a few tens of micrometers current prototypes already allow simultaneous printing from thousands of nozzles, with the potential to increase this number to the millions.
The unseen combination of resolution and throughput inherent to Scrona's multinozzle NanoDrip print heads will mark new avenues in the production of next-generation printed electronics.
