FUJIFILM Dimatix Materials Printer DMP-2850 | Inkjet Printer

The Dimatix Materials Printer (DMP) is an advanced system for precisely depositing functional fluids onto various surfaces. This cutting-edge equipment makes micro-precision jetting onto materials such as plastic, ceramics, glass, and silicon, and versatile flexible substrates such as paper, membranes, and thin film products possible.

• User-fillable print cartridges; 16 nozzles with typical drop sizes of 1 and 10 picoliter

• Printable area: 210 × 315 mm² (substrate thickness < 0.5 mm)

• Repeatability: ± 25 μm

• Fiducial Camera allows substrate alignment and positioning

• Some key usages include flexible antenna/sensor development, flexible circuit development, and so on.

StarLab | Anechoic Chamber

StarLab is the ideal tool for measuring antenna patterns in laboratory environments where space is limited, cost is critical, and the portability of a portable system is required.

• Frequency range: 650 MHz to 6 GHz
• It uses near-field technology to measure various parameters of antennas (gain, directivity, beamwidth, cross polar discrimination, sidelobe levels, 3D radiation pattern in any polarization, antenna efficency, etc.)
